What is summer staff?

These positions include working in the kitchen, snack shop, craft shop, horse barn, as well as lifeguards, nurse, and program staff.

Our staff work and pray hard daily to provide a Christ-centered camp experience for the children. The fruits of their labors are children getting saved, growing spiritually, and being challenged to serve God with their own lives.

Pray! Start right now asking God to guide you as to what you should do this summer.
If a "Summer Staff Missions Agreement" is sent to you, sign and return it as soon as God shows you that Camp Assurance is the place for you to serve next summer.
If you sign a contract, you will receive further preparation materials for your summer of ministry.

Our mission includes asking young people to spend two months of their summer to serve campers. These godly young people serve as counselors and support staff who show Christ to each child. It is a missions activity and they also face financial challenges like paying college bills.

As a missionary enterprise, Camp Assurance asks summer missionaries to raise their own financial support. The camp also encourages camp supporters to give to the "SAFE (or Staff Assistance For Education) Fund." This money is divided among the summer missionaries to help them pay for college expenses.
