If you're looking for something to fulfill your summer in a way like nothing else, you should apply to work at a church camp! Working at a camp is so much fun. What's better than getting to hang out with kids and teach them about Jesus all summer?

I'll tell you what, I couldn't think of another way I'd rather spend my summer. When I got to serve at the camp I grew up going to last summer, I had the best summer of my life. It was even better than getting to go there as a camper.

I was a camper for ten years. Transitioning to a staff member was different than I had anticipated, but I couldn't have asked for a better staff to do it with.

Serving at a camp gives you great memories and connections. Staff training is when you bond with your other staff members to learn how you can all work together in the most efficient way possible. I learned so much in these two weeks, I had no idea how much more I could learn the rest of the time I was there.

God sure did bless me with a staff who was nothing but supportive of each other all summer long. But he also gave me the chance to meet some of the coolest kids who came to camp. I thought I was becoming a staff member to teach kids, but wow, they sure taught me a lot too.

I have so many stories that I tell all the time about my adventures as a staff member. I don't know what I would do without my camp family and camp community in my life. It's shaped my life and how I grow in my relationship with Christ more than I could have ever thought possible.
