Life Teen Summer Missions Rule of Life

Summer Staff

First and foremost, you are answering Christ’s call to build up His Kingdom on earth. Throughout the summer, you will lead middle and/or high school teens closer to Christ through service, relationship, and prayer. You are joining the mission of Life Teen Summer Camps to create an environment for teens to meet Jesus Christ and develop a discipleship relationship with Him.

As a missionary, you are also responding to Christ’s invitation to deepen your personal relationship with Him and experience ongoing spiritual formation. You will be part of a mission community that together lives a structured and sacramental prayer life, supports one another in common mission, and holds each other accountable.

Service Crew

Primarily for second-year missionaries, the service crew is the behind-the-scenes team that serves in a variety of roles around camp. For 12 weeks, the service crew handles their specific tasks, while also facilitating the high ropes courses on camp.

From cooking meals in the kitchen, to shooting the camp video, to keeping the grounds looking clean, and much more in between, service crew is a great opportunity to dive deeper as a summer missionary in a teamwork-oriented, humbling, fulfilling role. Service crew members don’t have as much teen interaction as summer staff, but there are abundant ministry opportunities in each role available.

Mission Partnering

A vital part of Life Teen Summer Missions is inviting people to join you as mission partners; they will support you spiritually and financially through prayers and donations. No mission is successful without support; not only will camp be covered with intercession, but you will also be including individuals and families in the mission.

Summer Missions in Haiti

Each summer, while teens in the United States are attending a Life Teen Summer Camp, at the same time hundreds of miles away, teens in Haiti are doing the same. For two weeks at our mission base in Haiti, youth from all over the area fill the base to experience summer camp. Haitian Summer Missionaries serve for 3 months, beginning their formation in the states before traveling to Haiti to help facilitate summer camp and dive into the community. If you’re interested in bringing the #BestCampEver to the nations, this is your chance!

John 15

The legendary retreat for past Life Teen summer missionaries, the annual John 15 retreat is unforgettable. This year’s retreat will be open to summer missionaries that served at summer camp in 2019 and 2020. Reconnect with God through prayer, worship, and general/breakout sessions. Recognize what it means to truly abide, disciple, and persevere.

John 15 2020 will be December 18-21 at Camp Covecrest. Registration will open the beginning of November!
