Camp is Calling — Drummer / Percussion Worship Team Member

This isn’t just a summer job—it’s a ministry.

At Camp Timber-lee, your rhythm becomes part of something bigger. As a drummer on the Worship Team, you’ll help shape powerful worship experiences that point campers toward Christ while using your musical gifts to build energy, connection, and meaning in every chapel service.

If you love drumming, thrive in live band settings, and want to use percussion to lead people into worship—not just keep time—this is your opportunity to make an eternal impact.

What You'll Do

Lead and support worship as the drummer/percussionist for chapel and camp services
Create strong, steady, and dynamic rhythm foundations for worship sets
Collaborate closely with vocalists, guitarists, bass, and keyboard players to shape cohesive worship experiences
Help prepare and rehearse worship sets, including transitions, tempo mapping, and dynamics
Use percussion creatively (drum kit and/or auxiliary percussion as needed) to enhance worship moments
Maintain care of drum equipment, percussion instruments, and stage setup
Build meaningful relationships with campers and model Christ-centered leadership
Support camper arrival/departure weekends and assist with general camp programming as needed

What You Get

$7.25 per hour + housing and meals included
Live on-site in a vibrant, faith-centered summer community
Hands-on worship leadership and ministry experience for your resume
Opportunities for spiritual, personal, and musical growth
A summer focused on purpose, mentorship, and Kingdom impact

What We’re Looking For

A professing Christian with a personal, active faith in Jesus
Strong drumming / percussion skills with experience playing in live band settings
Ability to lock in with a metronome, click track, or live worship band
Understanding of worship dynamics (soft playing, build-ups, transitions, energy control)
Team-first mindset with strong communication and humility
Comfortable praying with campers and engaging in gospel-centered conversations
Willingness to serve beyond music in a camp ministry environment
Interest in mentoring youth and investing relationally in campers

Why this role matters

This is more than keeping time. As a drummer on the Worship Team, you help set the emotional and spiritual foundation of worship. Your rhythm helps create space for campers to engage, reflect, and respond to God. Through consistency, sensitivity, and excellence, you’ll help shape moments that campers carry long after summer ends—while growing in your own faith, leadership, and calling.
