Working on Summer Staff will give you opportunities to build a variety of helpful and marketable skills. Small group leadership, event planning (creating, set up, facilitation, tear down), working as a team, working individually, managing inventory, handling sensitive information, presenting content, etc!
The Full Time Team prays for you and pours into you from the time we hire you until the end of the summer. You will be encouraged, challenged, and championed in your personal and spiritual growth by the Full Time Team and Team Leads throughout the summer and beyond.
You’ll get to know alumni from the previous few classes! Some of the strongest friendships for Fellows alumni have emerged from working a summer together. These relationships only get to continue and strengthen while in The 3 Initiative.
You’ll get the opportunity to share the Gospel with students in your small group, but also as a part of our programming! You will get to model for your students what courageous spiritual conversations look like on our Immersion evangelism day.
Because our summer experiences only span a 6-week time period (starting in early June and ending in late July), you’ll have several weeks at the beginning and end of summer programming to travel or spend time with family.
Most camps pay a stipend, but we pay you for the hours that you work! Most if not all of your expenses are covered for the whole summer (lodging, food, and even some fun!).
"After working summer staff, I grew so much in my leadership and in my character, but most importantly as a follower of Christ. Learning to be fueled by the Gospel daily was a gift that I am so thankful for!"

"Summer staff was the perfect opportunity to put into practice what I’d spent nine months learning at Fellows. Getting to do life with students, watch them realize the truth of the gospel and the evidence that we have for the faith, and do it all while having fun was such a gift! Best way to spend a summer indeed."
