Reference Forms*

I understand that this completed referrence form will become the property of Oakcrest Camp.

I give the Oakcrest Employment Committee permission to contact my Bishop/personal reference listed. We will email them asking them to fill out an online form for a referral letter. If they didn't receive the emails, you can tell them they can find those links by going here: https://oakcrestcamp.org/employment/references/

We respectfully ask that you check your summer calendar carefully and speak with your parents about your plan to work at Oakcrest. All training meetings are mandatory as is daily attendance at camp for all 11 weeks. (Camp is closed July 3-7.) This means sacrificing family vacation time and other events you may want to attend. Exceptions are made for sibling weddings/missions. WE ARE SORRY, BUT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS COMMITMENT TO OAKCREST, WE CANNOT CONSIDER YOUR APPLICATION.*

I certify that the above information is correct. I also give Oakcrest LDS Girls Camp my permission to contact any of the people I have listed in this application, if necessary including: former or current employers, Bishop or other Church leaders, and those submitting reference letters.

I understand that camp runs Monday through Friday, for eleven weeks of the summer.

I understand that I must live worthy to hold a temple recommend now and throughout the entire summer. If I fail to live worthy of a temple recommend, my employment can be suspended or terminated.

I understand that there will be training meetings on Saturday, March 25, April 29, and May 13, 2023. I understand that these all-day trainings are mandatory and I am expected to attend.

I understand that there is a mandatory Pre-camp Week May 29 through June 2, 2023, that I am expected to attend. (KD's whose last week of school conflicts with these dates should still apply.)

I understand that there are 10 weeks of camp beginning June 5 and running through August 12, 2023. (Camp is closed July 3-7.) I commit to being there for the entire 10 weeks unless ill. I understand that my pay will be docked for days missed and I must notify the Director.

I understand that I am required to work and live at camp Monday morning through Friday afternoon. I will need to find a place to stay on the weekends within a reasonable travel distance from the Salt Lake Valley. I will need transportation to and from camp (near Kamas, Utah) or to various car pool sites in the Salt Lake Valley.

I understand that Camp Closing is Saturday, August 12, 2023. When I finish my packing and cleaning assignments on that day, I will be free to leave. (Usually between 7 and 9 a.m.)

I understand employment is conditional on passing a background check.

Kitchen Agreement*

I understand that pre-camp week often coincides with the last week of school, requiring students to make arrangements to miss all but essential classes and graduation activities. I understand that the head cook may excuse me for 2 1/2 days, without pay, to attend a ward or stake camp, or youth conference, after she takes in consideration the schedules of all kitchen staff members to assure that the remaining kitchen staff can handle all meals in my absence.

I understand that employment is conditional on passing a background check.
