A summer of community, formation, service, and deepening your relationship with the Lord. Life Teen Summer Camp strives to create a place where Christ can be encountered through parish based discipleship. As a summer missionary, you will have a major role in a teens experience at camp whether you are on summer staff or service crew. You can expect to see countless teens come to know the Lord and lives changed, including yours.
Give the Lord an opportunity to work through you this summer!
Every summer missionary commits to glorifying God through the Life Teen Missions Rule of Life for the summer.
“The purpose of our rule of life is to root our lives in Christ Jesus. By providing the foundational pillars for a culture of “missionary discipleship” this rule of life will allow our communities to embrace a lifestyle of dying to self and living in the Spirit. Obedience to this rule of life leads us to form certain Christ-like habits, transforming us into witnesses of the Gospel regardless of age, location, or state in life.”
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 is the behind-the-scenes team that serves in a variety of roles around camp. Half sessions are available for hospitality, kitchen, and facilities teams at Covecrest and Hidden Lake that run in conjunction with sessions 1 & 2 in Georgia. All other service crew positions are full summer roles.
From cooking meals in the kitchen, 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 is now open to anyone who is 18 years old at the time of camp. Those who just graduated high school or recently turned 18 are invited to apply for hospitality, kitchen, or facilities.
