Help give a child a summer week that matters.
Camp 1:27 is a free, Christ-centered summer camp for children and teenagers impacted by foster care, adoption, and relative placement. Our goal is to introduce campers to Christ and give them an incredible week filled with friendship, adventure, and belonging.

- Lead devotionals and participate in chapel, worship, and small groups.
- Help lead games, crafts, recreation, and other camp activities.
- Follow safety procedures and communicate concerns to camp leadership.

Who we’re looking for
- A growing Christian faith and willingness to model and share the Gospel.

- Flexibility, a willingness to learn, and a positive approach to teamwork.
Previous camp or children’s ministry experience is helpful but not required. These roles are primarily designed for college students and young adults.
Life at camp
