Camp Internship/Leadership

Development Program

 

Developing Servant Leaders in the Camp Ministry

Welcome to the Leadership Development program details. Together we are excited to offer a camp internship program that teaches all the aspects of Christian camping. Every camp program and event, all of the Camp CoBeAc staff, and some of camp's vendors, campers, and constituents are used for this training. Are you interested in getting practical hands-on experience at a growing Christian camp?

Camp CoBeAc invests in up to five interns each year to serve in areas including program development, office management, business office, food preparation, retail supervision, and general services.
