LBBC is located roughly 2 hours northwest of the Twin Cities, putting us right in the heart of the state of Minnesota and lake country. Closer cities include Little Falls (20 minutes), St. Cloud (60 minutes), and Baxter (45 minutes).

Those applicants who will be returning to high school following the summer are encouraged to take part in our L.I.T. (Leaders in Training) program prior to working on staff. However, applicants as young as 17 may apply to work a summer at Lake Beauty.

The 2026 camping season extends from Tuesday, May 26th through Friday, August 7th. Built-in days off will be determined before summer begins. Additional training is required for some positions and will be discussed during the hiring process.

Our summer staff pay begins at $1900 and increases per summer depending on previous summers served at Lake Beauty and/or on the level of responsibility for their job position.

Summer staff are free to use technology on days off and while on breaks during summer programs. They are not permitted to have electronic devices on their persons while working.

We do have Wi-Fi available, but it is not always the most reliable (we are a camp, after all!)

After you have accepted an offer of employment, we will send you a list of everything you should bring to camp, along with a lot of other details to prepare you for the summer!

LBBC is a ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) and is owned by over 60 churches within the Northwest Conference of the ECC, though we have campers from many Christian traditions (or none at all). Our campers come from southern and central MN, western WI, and eastern SD. We even have a handful of churches in ND and IA!

Additional days off may be permitted depending on the timing and length of the period requested. These dates should be discussed with our team during the interview process. Please also note that days off do affect total compensation received.

There is no deadline to apply, as we continue to hire until all of our positions are filled. Some positions are filled quickly, so be sure to apply early if you want to be considered for your position(s) of choice.

We have had previous summer staff use their experience as an internship. We would be happy to talk with you to see if any of our positions would fulfill the requirements of the internship for which you are looking.

Summer staff are provided housing, food, and laundry facilities during their time of employment. Linens, laundry supplies, etc. are not provided by LBBC and food options are limited when camp is not in session.
