Summer Staff Application
Camp ministry offers a unique opportunity for individuals to demonstrate their willingness to serve, deepen their faith, and develop valuable skills—all while making a meaningful impact on the lives of others. By applying to serve at camp, you are opening your heart to whatever role God may have in store for you, rather than applying for a specific job or position. We sincerely appreciate your willingness to serve and are excited to see how God will use your gifts and talents here at camp this year. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve. As we reflect on this calling, remember Ephesians 6:7–8 (NIV): “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.” Thank you for your dedication and heart to serve!
