When you choose to spend a summer with us here at Camp Hammer, we trust your experience will be nothing less than incredible!
Not only will you see God change the lives of hundreds of kids, you will also be amazed at the work He does in your life during your time of ministry. You will experience challenges and joys like never before; you will build relationships with friends that will last a lifetime; you will be stretched in ways that will test your flexibility; and, mostly, you will see God work in powerful ways!
Besides the spiritual and emotional rewards, our summer staff members are also compensated by a weekly stipend (beginning at $175 per week, depending on the position). Year-round staff salaries are negotiable. So, with all of this awaiting you, what are you waiting for?
Camp Hammer's summer program is a high-energy, cutting-edge ministry that impacts over 1,300 kids during its 8-week season. Every summer, our facilities come alive with swarms of kids who spend each week enjoying relevant messages, dynamic music, exciting rides, competitive team-building, fabulous food, unique night games, and much, much more! Their experience is shaped largely by our summer staff, which is why we take great care in selecting mature, highly motivated Christian leaders. We guarantee your summer here will be a life-changing experience!
