Join Us This Summer to Find Out!
The Summer Missions Project at Indian Hills Camp is an incredible missions opportunity for any person ages 18-30 to engage with Christian camping ministry.  Whether it's working directly with children, getting involved with the day to day logistics of operating a camp, or anything in between, there's a place for everybody at camp. Participants can be sure to gain valuable life experience serving on a team of like-minded and committed Christians in a missions setting. If you're looking for a place to answer God's call to serve and if you want to experience a ton of growth in your spiritual walk, the Summer Staff program is for you. We're looking for young adults who are driven and passionate about the Gospel. If you can get excited about kids, the outdoors, ministry and missions then we'd love to hear from you!
