Victory Sports Summer Missionary Reference Form Summer 2027

This applicant is applying to serve as a Summer Missionary for Victory Sports in the summer of 2027. Our summer missionaries serve in a leadership capacity throughout the summer for Victory Sports Camps. Victory Sports offers one-week camps for children in 1st to 6th grade. These camps provide sports in the morning and Vacation Bible School (VBS) in the afternoon.

Your honest assessment is extremely valuable to us. A positive reference does not automatically result in acceptance, and identifying areas for growth will not necessarily disqualify an applicant. We are seeking an accurate picture of each applicant so that we can determine readiness and provide appropriate leadership and support.

All reference responses will be kept confidential and will only be used by Victory Sports leadership in the applicant review and selection process.
