Activities

In addition to working, Summer Staff members participate in worship and chapel services, book studies for discussion and mentoring, and testimony sharing nights. Staff may opt to share devotionals or testimonies with all staff at breakfast each morning.

Fun events and outings are planned regularly for all staff to participate in together.

Summer Staff leaders assess each staffer’s spiritual and emotional needs and growth. Department supervisors are also engaged with staff and create mentor relationships.

God has done great things in the lives of our staff! Many alumni have gone on to attend Christian colleges, become pastors, or serve in missions after transformative experiences.
