Camps and Other Summer Ministries
Camps and ministries across North America are dedicated to youth outreach, discipleship, and service. Each summer, students have the opportunity to serve, grow spiritually, and gain valuable work experience through a variety of ministry settings. Directors from different organizations are eager to meet and recruit students each January on campus.
