Meet Warm Beach’s Intern, Jessica Graves

The internship program is back in full swing at Warm Beach Camp (WBC)! We are excited to welcome Jessica Graves (left) from Ferndale as a 2023-2024 WBC intern. Jessica has been coming to WBC since she was eight and has participated in summer camps and volunteer opportunities at The Lights of Christmas.

“Years ago, my grandparents volunteered down here. And ever since I can remember, we’ve been coming down and helping with The Lights.”

Jessica was looking for a job where she could help people and make a difference while making friends. Through prayer and discussion with others, she was drawn to the Internship program at WBC.

“Warm Beach has always been like another home to me. When I come here, I feel instantly at home again.”

Jessica is enjoying the opportunity to live on campus and interact with the on-site community here, it doesn’t hurt that work is just a short walk from her house.

Interns get the opportunity to work in multiple departments to gain experience in several career options in camp ministry. So far, during her first two months in the program, Jessica has worked in Accommodations, Food Service, and The Lights of Christmas departments. She doesn’t have a favorite area yet but enjoys the opportunity to serve.

She is looking forward to meeting new people and growing closer to God during her time at WBC. And we are grateful that she is part of the Warm Beach team and excited to see how God moves in her life.

I was searching for myself… learning how to honor my truth, how to listen to my own voice, and how to step into confidence in who I am. Then I found the barn. And slowly, quietly… it began to change ...

Celebrating the People Who Make Camp Possible

It is our opportunity to pause, gather, and say from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you! On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Warm Beach Camp will ...

A Therapeutic Experience

Each summer, Warm Beach Camp has the privilege of welcoming teens and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities to Camp SunSparrow to attend a week of Day Camp. During this time, they have fun, make friends, and gain new and impactful life skills and experiences. Amidst the busyness of the summer months, one activity that stands out is the thoughtfully coordinated horse encounter, which is brought by Warm Beach Horsemanship team members one afternoon a week. This activity has ...
