Summer Internship

SUMMER LEADERSHIP INTERN 2011

 

Background & Purpose:
Within the Kansas Region, summer Church Camp is a high priority.   Those who have participated and matured through the camp program (now college-age students) are typically able and willing leaders who have excellent talents to offer.  These young adults are often the most dedicated individuals, as they have benefited greatly from their own experience in camp.   These individuals are also in a place of great financial need for resources to continue their college education. 

            The Summer Leadership Intern program provides the region with needed leadership, and enhances a young person’s college experience.  Preference is given to those individuals considering ministry as a career option.  While individuals from other regions are considered, Kansas applicants are given first consideration.

Interns are expected to:

1. Be accountable to the regional staff person who supervises Outdoor Ministries.
2. Participate in a Leadership Training held over the week prior to Memorial Day.
3. Be available throughout the summer (June and July) to serve in the region’s camp programs.
4. Serve a specific program need (music leadership, pool supervision/life guard, Challenge Course, etc.), and at times, to fill in as a counselor along with other volunteers.
5. Serve in facilities maintenance and cleaning (kitchen, grounds upkeep, maintenance/cleaning, etc.)
6. Be accountable to regional staff for appropriate use of time, skill, behavior, etc.  Interns are expected to be an appropriate role model for youth and others and to represent the region in a favorable way.
7. Read and discuss a book in a weekly meeting with other interns with an aim to increase understanding of Christian leadership.
8. Acknowledge and abide by all camp policies and guidelines.

Benefits:
