Internships

We believe in raising up the next generation of leaders whether they're going to be working in a camp, a church, an office, a restaurant, or a home; camp is the perfect place to learn life skills that will go any where.

With an internship you will work alongside our full time development staff throughout the process of planning and implementing. You can learn how we develop worship services, write curriculum, create the spiritual journey, plan activities, events and games, and be a part of running the summer.

Your Role as an Intern

Being a That Thing intern requires a somewhat similar attitude to that of being on a missions trip...only, the land isn't quite so foreign and the prep time lasts a whole lot longer. You will have many great opportunities for fellowship with the body of Christ and to connect people and their passions/skills into ministry with and for high school students. You will develop and improve your skills in leadership, event planning, production, video, photography, creative writing, worship design and so much more. The hands on experience you will have will give you an edge after college.
