JUNIOR STAFF OPPORTUNITIES

There is no better setting for growing future church leaders and servants of Jesus Christ than a place like Camp Lebanon! Experienced supervision. Challenging assignments. Fun atmosphere. Spiritual nurturing. Caring friends. Memories for a lifetime. In fulfillment of Jesus' Great Commission to make disciples, Camp Lebanon is excited to offer a four-track program for leadership training. Teens may apply for more than one level of training for the summer, serving from one to ten weeks. All weekends are off and spent away from Camp.

LEVEL 1: Sweat Team (S.T.)

The adventure begins here for the aspiring Camp Lebanon Staff member. Sweat Team is hard work--but it is also a fun training program for teens wishing to serve in the areas of housekeeping, maintenance, or dish-washing. While working in one of these three areas youth may find out for themselves that hard work can be fun. Features include orientation to Camp service, Bible studies, and evening specials. Upon completion, "graduates" are eligible to apply for Service Crew and LIT. This program is structured in two-week units, and both weeks must be completed in order to graduate from Sweat Team. Teens unwilling to sweat need not apply! Send in your applications ASAP to join the team! Sessions are begnning to fill up quick.
