SUMMER STAFF
A Summer Like No Other
When people come to camp, they leave transformed. This is certainly apparent within the campers that join us each week for our programs. Though we have a beautiful facility, great food and tons of fun activities for campers young and old, we are convinced that it is people that God chooses to use in order cultivate life changing impact in hearts. As such, every year we seek out a team of young leaders who love working with kids and who have a deep passion for the Gospel.
We also know that an experience as a summer camp staff is just as transformative. In answering the call to serve on this team, you’ll explore new levels of leadership amidst a supportive community that wants to see you further discover how God has uniquely designed you. You’ll engage in mentorship, discipleship, and be given opportunities to learn new skills that translate to a variety of environments.
