About The Position

Young Life Camping offers two types of summer-only paid internships from which to choose: 1. at an outreach camp, 2. at an adventure/discipleship camp. This internship is experience-building and focuses on providing excellent camping experiences for individuals to encounter Jesus Christ and know the truth of God’s love for them. Interns will support base camp operations, serve guests 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. The Guest Services role specifically focuses on attentive hospitality, equipping servant leaders who anticipate and respond to the needs of our guests, staff and vendors, through Christ-like service. This involves developing a posture of service that anticipates guest needs and responds with professionalism through intentional decisions and systems. It also requires developing the habit of being available to staff and guests in both location and demeanor by remaining flexible and adaptable.
