At Parkside Ranch, some roles have a spiritual focus because of the faith-based nature of our camp’s mission. As part of the application process, we ask questions about religious beliefs to make sure applicants are a good fit for these roles. This approach is in line with provincial human rights law, which allows religious organizations to consider faith-based qualifications when they’re relevant to the job. Including this step helps us stay true to our mission and follow the guidelines in our protection policy.
Spiritual Environment and Discussions
By joining Parkside Ranch as a summer staff member, you’ll be part of a community where spiritual discussions and activities are a natural part of daily life. We expect all staff to be comfortable in this environment and to engage with respect and kindness, regardless of their personal beliefs. Respect for one another is essential, and we ask everyone to uphold this value in all circumstances to maintain a positive and welcoming atmosphere for both staff and campers.
Here is our state of belief :
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that it is our authority and our guide for our faith and its application.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, fully man and fully God, perfect in His person, eternal in His existence. We believe that He died for our sins and that He rose again to be our High Priest in the presence of God.
We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit and in the fact that He resides in every believer.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, which is made up of every true believer.
We do not claim to be perfect, but we affirm that we have a perfect Savior, whom we serve in this camp through our actions and our daily lives.
Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability. We ask that you do not rush this portion of the application but prayerfully consider your answers. Thank you!
