Camp is more than just time away—it’s a chance to encounter something greater. In the stillness of nature and the joy of new friendships, you’ll discover the hope, truth, and love found in Jesus Christ. As you grow in faith and face new experiences, you’ll begin to see who He created you to be and the incredible purpose He has for your life.
Find Your Fit
Retreats
As part of our Retreats staff, you'll be in charge of help running the day-to-day for our large groups. You'll facilitate activities, spend time with other counselors and help our campus shine for our guests.
Overnight Camp
Each week at Overnight Camp, our counselors are paired with a group of 6th–8th grade campers to walk alongside them throughout their entire camp experience. From late-night cabin talks to early morning devotions, you’ll lead activities, share meals, and create moments that point them to Jesus. It’s more than just a week of fun—it’s a chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of students as they grow in faith, friendship, and confidence.
Day Camp
Every week, our Day Camp Staff will be paired up with their own group of campers to spend every day with. You'll not only run activities, but also lead camp songs, oversee devotion and provide an exciting atmosphere.
Junior Counselors
Each Junior Counselor is paired with a Senior Staffer who will teach them the ropes of being a counselor, leader and help them grow in their walk with Christ.
