Young Life Year-Long Camping Intern

Young Life Camping Interns

Interns play a vital role in Young Life’s camping ministry. Our interns are committed to Christ, first and foremost. They also have the ability to lead others, serve with excellence, and have a desire to be challenged and grow in their relationship with Christ. Interns will strive together to serve Christ, kids, and each other. They will also have the opportunity to grow as leaders in ministry, develop Christ-like relationships, and enjoy the fun and beauty of camp.

Year-Long Intern

Young Life’s year-long intern programs are great opportunities for those looking to gain a variety of practical, relevant work experiences and skills, those who are curious about a possible career in Young Life, and/or those interested to spend a year living and growing in a Christ-centered community that serves together and makes an impactful contribution to Young Life’s ministry. Participants will have the opportunity to work in multiple departments during their year, such as Maintenance, Landscaping, Retail, Food Service, Housekeeping, Administration, and Guest Services. A willingness to fundraise part of your salary is required. As a full-time employee of Young Life, medical, dental, and vision benefits are available.

There are nine Young Life camps that offer a Year-Long Internship. Six of these camps have programs that begin in the Fall. Three camps offer programs that begin in January. This is specified on the application. Please visit camp websites to learn more. Information such as specific roles, dates, and other local details may be found under their “Intern” tab.

Notes:

Young Life is a relational ministry. Staff must be able to convey a sense of Christ-like hospitality and concern for guests and staff. Responding to the unexpected needs of a guest in a prompt and professional manner is important. All staff members are expected to represent Young Life positively and professionally within the community and be able to work with and minister to the volunteer high school and college-age young people who attend our camp.
