A faith that growsWorship, Bible study and devotions with a team that encourages you every day.
Friends for lifeServe alongside about 50 staff from across the country and around the world.
Life on the coastSpend your days on Bogue Sound and in the shade of the Croatan pines.
Skills that stand outWaterfront, sailing, challenge course, media and creative arts roles build real-world experience.
A team that feels like familyA faith-filled team that laughs, prays and grows together all summer.

Most summer jobs fill the calendar without filling the heart. It is hard to find work that gives you real responsibility, room to grow in your faith and a team that feels like family.

Our mission is to foster relationships, nurture growth and connect with God's creation. Each summer our staff live out that mission with more than 1,000 campers on the Crystal Coast, and we train and support every staff member to lead with confidence and love like Christ.
