Potential Jobs

Work Program
|
Typically, a student working 1.5-2 hours per day regularly during the school year should earn approximately $2,300 throughout the year. There are a limited number of jobs available on campus, so whenever possible, students are encouraged to find jobs at local community businesses. The Academy normally provides transportation to local community jobs if occurring during a normal school day.
Work opportunities may be available for village students; however, priority is given to dorm students because of their higher school expenses. For further information on the work program, please contact the Student Labor Coordinator at 970-667-5592, extension 112. The annual tuition and fee totals for 2018-19 include an additional $200 more than the prior year due to increased minimum wage laws in Colorado. For students working an average number of hours, this should be offset by increased earned wages throughout the year. 
Campion Academy, in partnership with Southern Adventist University’s ASSIST grant program, has the opportunity to offer unique tuition assistance to our students. Through this service-oriented program, our participating students are paired with elderly adults in our community in a mutually-beneficial way.
Students in the ASSIST program provide help to senior citizens by performing light housecleaning and/or yard work. They also have fun with their elderly friends through activities such as visiting, reading, and playing games. As the young people build generational bridges, they also benefit from the wisdom and mentorship of the older adults. In the process, their time together helps finance the student’s Christian education. Not only are these students developing skills needed to be successful—commitment, leadership, communication and interpersonal skills, empathy, and collaboration—they are also learning the value of service.

Summer Jobs
|
We strongly encourage you to find employment at home during the summer. Summer earnings can make a significant impact towards your tuition costs. In addition, financial aid donors expect you to help fund your overall financial plan by working during the summer and throughout the school year.
Limited jobs are available at Campion Academy during the summer months. Typically, students are hired for maintenance, grounds, custodial, and limited office positions. Because the dormitories and cafeteria are not open during the summer, students must live locally or arrange privately to stay with local families during the summer.

Work Sponsorship
|
The work sponsorship program allows you to get paid more per hour. It works on a similar basis as a walk-a-thon or bike-a-thon. Recruit a sponsor who will guarantee to contribute a specific amount per hour for each hour you work, up to any amount.
