Camp interns serve the summer camp program in a variety of ways:
- They are trained and certified as facilitators in the Challenge Course
- They monitor campfires and grill hamburgers
- They mow; wash dishes and help with food service
- Clean the swimming pool and facilities between camp sessions
- And more!
All of which make summer church camp the great experience that churches want for their young people. Besides all the background tasks, interns help lead all-camp games, fill in for counselors when needed, and are terrific role models for our campers.
For all of this, they earn a modest weekly stipend and if they complete the summer, a significant scholarship toward their ongoing college education.
For this summer, one previous intern will return: Mason Oswalt of Atchison First CC. New interns this summer are Grace Mapel, Arkansas City Central CC, Marisa Black, Wellington First CC, Grace Duffy, Manhattan FCC, and Jordan Howard, Shelton Memorial CC, Ulysses.
Sid Rutland, Independence FCC, will also return in his role as Intern Supervisor.
This team includes great commitments to the church and to the camp experience. We are excited to share their talent with summer campers!
Intern training takes place May 20-25. Interns serve throughout the summer camp program, beginning May 28 with Primary 1, Discovery, and Grand Camp 1, and concluding in early August.
