An Internship at Carolina Creek is for someone who is all about mission. Someone who is eager to serve God while discovering and developing their gifts and exploring paths toward vocation. While you’re all about that - we’re all about you. We’re looking for the person who doesn’t let others look down on you just because you’re young. The person who’s got talent, passion, and motivation to spare. The person who can’t wait to spend the best years of your life doing the best work of your life, learning and developing alongside some of the best leaders around. The person who is eager to serve their team, coworkers and strangers alike because serving blesses the giver, just as much- if not more than the receiver. A Carolina Creek Internship isn’t for just anyone—and that’s why we think it might be perfect for you.
The Carolina Creek Internship is designed to help young adults develop as leaders spiritually, personally, and professionally. Carolina Creek is currently seeking young adults who are excited about developing under some of the best leaders in camp ministry and working in a team environment that encourages personal and professional growth.
If you are a hard-working, driven, teachable young leader who is passionate about the mission and vision of Carolina Creek, keep reading.

Primary Responsibilities
Participants in the Intern Program serve on our ministry team, as needed, whenever guests are present. This includes most, but not all weekends throughout the year, as well as some midweek groups. Direct ministry assignments will vary depending upon the giftings and abilities of each individual, but all participants should expect to be deployed as needed to accomplish our mission. Assignments may include, but are not limited to:
-
Facilitate Carolina Creek adventure/recreation, aquatics, and target sports in a safe manner for all guests.
-
Lead a small group of campers in Bible Studies, activities, and other program elements for midweek and weekend programs.
-
Assist the Kitchen Staff in serving and cleaning of meals for all guest groups.

Assist the Guest Experience team in preparing facilities for guests, including cleaning dining halls, common areas, and cabins as well as room setup.
-
Assist the Grounds Team in maintaining & improving grounds.
-
Participate in meetings and complete assignments received by the Intern Coordinator & supervisor.
Each intern will be assigned to a specific team at Carolina Creek. They will be able to apply the leadership principles they are learning from the Intern program in their daily work at Carolina Creek. This department will be secondary to the primary responsibility of leading the program and guest groups experience.
Program Intern
The Program Intern will work within the Program Department to produce engaging, Christ centered, intentional programs, activities, and experiences for a wide range of populations.
This isn’t just an internship, it’s a calling. At Carolina Creek, we are risk-takers, who believe in working for something more than ourselves, honoring God with all that we do. We are passionate about helping people experience & know the love of Jesus in new and unique ways.
Within the Program Department we are looking for individuals who are more than just creative or outdoorsy. We are looking for people with a heart for ministry. We want individuals who are looking to gain experience not only in designing and developing programs, retreats, and summer camps, but also who are excited about facilitating and processing these experiences. We’re looking for someone who loves adventure and aquatics activities and would be willing to be trained in both.
