We are dedicated to following Christ’s example of ministry through faithful discipleship, Christian fellowship, and spiritual worship. If you would like to apply here, it is important for you to know that this program is a ministry of Mandarin/Longleaf United Methodist Church and is not just a job.

Program Information
The children and youth, you will lead through summer camp, range from kindergarten through seventh grade. The children are divided into groups and led to various camp activities by their Crew Leader.
