Your Next Big Adventure; Camp Intern

Looking for an internship that will help you grow in faith, develop leadership skills, and become part of a community that feels like family? The Warm Beach Camp Internship might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Just ask Jessica, who completed a two-year journey in the program. “I love being around people. I love community,” she explained. “The moment you come onto grounds, everyone is friendly, with warm smiles and handshakes. Here we try to make sure Christ is shown”.

For Jessica, the internship was more than just a job—it was an opportunity to serve, grow, and discover her calling.

Hands-On Experience That Makes an Impact

Interns at Warm Beach Camp step into real ministry opportunities. From assisting with guest services to leading kids at summer camp, the program is designed to help you gain valuable skills while making a difference. “My favorite part was the summer camp,” Jessica said. “Just being around kids and getting to connect with some of them—I think that was my favorite part.”

Whether you thrive in the spotlight or prefer to work behind the scenes, there’s a place for you at camp. As Jessica pointed out, “Even introverts can work at a camp. They just do jobs in the background, like making sure everything gets clean, supporting maintenance, or working the grounds. There’s always a place for you and a variety of things that need to be done”.

Grow in Leadership and Faith

The Warm Beach Internship is more than work experience—it’s about spiritual formation and leadership development. Interns are paired with mentors for Bible study and accountability, while also gaining hands-on leadership opportunities.

Jessica admitted leadership didn’t come naturally at first, but she grew into it: “I feel like I have grown as a leader. I was put as a team captain sometimes. When I led a team, I would ask them what they were comfortable doing, and we’d get the job done faster. I do believe communication is big and I excited to grow more that area”.

Through these experiences, interns gain confidence and skills they’ll carry with them into future ministry and beyond.

Community That Feels Like Family

One of the most unique aspects of the Warm Beach Internship is the living community. Interns share housing, work side by side, and build friendships that last a lifetime.

Jessica described her roommate as “like a big sister.” She recalled evenings spent laughing together and the lessons that come from sharing life with someone new. “Having a roommate was so much fun… I think living with someone else makes you realize that you can’t just do whatever you want. We also had to learn how to communicate well and live in the same place.”

Discover Your Purpose

For Jessica, the internship clarified her calling: “I feel like my purpose is to help people and lead people to Christ. If I can inspire or encourage someone in Christ while working, that’s amazing. I just love being around community and people. Helping other people is what makes me the happiest.”

This kind of clarity is what makes the Warm Beach Camp Internship so valuable. It’s not just about the skills you’ll gain—it’s about discovering who God created you to be.

Provision for the Humble

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 NLT What comes to the humble is incredible. Reflection I have come to love the word humble. I love it for what it doesn’t mean: Proud, self-seeking, scheming, pushy, demanding, looking out for #1, status focused, and the insistence of being the brightest and best in the room. Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
