SUMMER STAFF
Join the Camp
BlueSky Team!
Spend 4 or 8 weeks in Kenya this summer serving on Camp BlueSky's seasonal team, investing in the lives of global kids and teens through adventure, fun, and relationship!
Adventure
is Calling!
Every year from late May through late July, an amazing group of college and university students join our staff at Camp BlueSky, a unique adventure camp in Nairobi, Kenya, for 7-18 year olds.
BlueSky campers represent dozens of nationalities and multiple religious backgrounds. Some have grown up in the church, while others hear about Jesus for the first time during their week at camp. Throughout six camp sessions, the Camp BlueSky team usually serves over 800 campers—an average of 130 campers each week!
Our counselors and program aides are an integral part of the ministry of Camp BlueSky - whether it's by teaching a craft, cheering them up the rock wall, performing a crazy skit, sharing during devotion times, or simply being an older friend in whom to confide. Throughout it all, our team has the opportunity to meet campers where they are - spiritually, emotionally, relationally - and point them to Jesus through word and deed.
When camp is not in session, Camp BlueSky staff get to engage in some other kinds of adventures and learning opportunities, including:
Team training, debrief, and rest.
Exploring some of the beauty Kenya has to offer through rock climbing, camping, and other adventures.
Connecting with other ministries in the Nairobi community to see what God is doing is beyond BlueSky.
Whether they have grown up in Nairobi or it is their first time in another country, these weeks give our staff an opportunity to grow as a team and expand their vision of what it looks like to be a part of Christ's Kingdom work. The camp season provides an excellent introduction to cross-cultural ministry as our staff interact with many nationalities (both on their own team and with their campers) and multiple types of ministry. Our goal for each staff member is that they grow in cultural humility, servant leadership, and faith in order to become active and missional members of the Global Church.
Positions
Cost
Camp BlueSky is a non-profit organization, and camp fees from our campers go directly back into the cost of operations and programs in order to keep it as affordable as we can. Therefore, our ministry staff, including seasonal staff, are required to raise or contribute the finances needed for their time serving with us. We also ask each staff member to gather a team of people to pray for them and our whole team for the camp season.
The total financial amount needed from each staff member will vary based on differences in position, travel costs, and length of service. We will provide resources, coaching, and accountability to help our staff with this aspect of serving with our ministry. Please see position descriptions or email us for an estimate or more information.
We understand that this is a big commitment and investment, and we are equally confident that the experience you gain and the impact you make as you serve, explore, learn, and lead with Camp BlueSky are much more than an equal return!
