4+ Week Internship Program
Internship Experience
Interns are college students who are admitted into a rigorous training and hands-on learning program for 4 consecutive weeks and a few pre-camp orientation and prep days, in addition to extensive online pre-camp training. The perks of being an intern can be found later in the intern handbook. Interns will be required to attend one Sunday prep day (approx. 4 hours) to help with getting things ready for campers. Interns will also be required to attend the move-in day on June 28, 2022 and the move-out day on August 6, 2022.
