General Assembly Teen volunteers: Use the Form Below

Serving as a teen volunteer at Summer’s Best Two Weeks is a fantastic opportunity for fun and service and growth in your own skills and relationship with God, with campers, and with your fellow staff. Junior Counselors are typically paired with a college-age senior counselor and are generally responsible for modeling Christ-like character, shepherding a particular squad of campers through each day’s activities, and enthusiastically welcoming and getting to know their campers. Work Crew are responsible for moving around and setting up equipment, putting it away, cleaning up, and any other “work” that needs to be done! Teen volunteers typically serve at just one location, though you are certainly welcome to serve at more than one if you would like!
