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.

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.

Features include an orientation to Camp service, Bible studies, and special events. Upon completion, graduates are eligible to apply for both Service Crew and LIT.
