What is Wilderness Trail’s Junior Staff ministry?
Our Junior Staff program is an incredible opportunity for further discipleship and fellowship with a new group of people. Our junior staff are partnered with a WT Staff to support a group in their hiking week and fulfill tasks such as helping to cook, take care of blisters, hike “point” or “sweep,” and so much more. Our junior staff grow closer to God and the group by saying yes to the different leadership opportunities that will present themselves throughout the week as a junior staff.
Junior Staff Requirements:
Be fifteen years of age by the time of the event during which you will serve as Junior Staff
Have completed 3 summer hikes with WT
Receive positive recommendations from a youth counselor and a WT Staff person
If your junior staff application is accepted, you will receive a letter in the mail with registration instructions (letters are mailed in January). We register Junior Staff for events on a first come, first serve basis according the event size and leadership needs.
