Independence, growth & leadership

Summer staff — hiring, training, and faith formation

Each year, we prayerfully seek college-age and upper high school students who feel called to serve as head counselors, lifeguards, and program staff for our summer camps. These exceptional young men and women are carefully trained and equipped, not only to care for campers physically and emotionally, but to reflect the love of Christ in all they do. They walk alongside campers through every part of the camp experience, building meaningful relationships, offering encouragement, and creating a safe place to grow. Often, God uses their faith, kindness, and leadership to guide campers toward a deeper understanding of Jesus and a lasting relationship with Him.
