Staff Off Site of Rock-N-Water

camper climbing ant hill climb at summer campRock-N-Water is located in Northern California and is composed of individual Christians that are excited about outdoor youth ministry. Some of those individuals are only available to work on a short term, occasional, or part time basis, we call them our Staff-Off-Site (SOS). It is our prayer, that though the use of SOS on an as-needed/as-available basis, we might be able to lighten some of the load off of our full time staff. This is a brief description of what SOS is, so that you can better decide if you may or may not be interested.

We can work with a wide range of availabilities and restrictions, so if you have questions just give us a call and we can take a look at how our schedules might or might not be able to mix together. Here is a brief run down of what being SOS would mean, and what it would take to become or remain Staff Off Site:

  • A flexibility of schedule or general availability that yields a reasonable possibility of being available.
