Program Staff Housing
Here’s what some of our past summer staff say about Camp Knutson:
“From the beautiful sunrises in the morning to singing around the campfire at night and everything in between, Camp K is one of the most magical places on earth filled with special people. I have never felt more encouraged and inspired than the two summers I spent at Camp Knutson. It will always hold a special place in my heart.” - Rachel F.
“Being a part of Camp Knutson summer staff was the most rewarding and exciting job I have ever had. Though the work can be difficult and the days can become long, it is all worth it in the end to know that I have had an impact in the life of a child with special needs. Campers always say how much they love camp and how much impact the staff has had on them. Little do they know the amount of impact that they have had on us!” - Jacob
