MAKE SUMMER COUNT

Don't spend your summer in front of a computer screen...or slinging tacos...or pouring coffee.

Choose a summer job that gives you more: a ton of fun, a big network of new friends, and the kind of leadership experience employers love. Make it the best summer you’ll ever have at Youthfront Camp!

Why should you join Youthfront's Summer Staff?

To Invest In Kids

Youthfront is the place where kids can explore their faith, learn about Jesus and have fun in a safe, loving environment. Summer Staff are role models and leaders and you’ll impact all ages of our campers, from first graders to high schoolers. 

To Grow Spiritually

Grow in your own relationship with God as you walk alongside campers, showing them the many ways they are loved and cherished by God. You’ll engage in unique cabin and worship activities that help you and campers experience Christ’s message.

To Make Friends For Life

Working alongside each other all summer builds strong and meaningful friendships that sustains, strengthens and bonds staff long after camp ends. Camp staff becomes family and many relationships last a lifetime.

To Acquire Valuable Skills

Yes, Summer Staff is fun, but it’s also hard work. You’ll build the hard and soft skills that future hiring managers will value – and learn a lot about yourself in the process! Our summer staff grow as leaders, gaining confidence for life after college. 

To Have All The Fun!

Don’t waste your summer behind a screen or counter (unless it’s at Snack Shack serving up our awesome camp ice cream). Enjoy The Blob, Splash Park, waterslide and all the perks of our amazing camp facilities while you make friendships that last a lifetime.

A Summer Job Like No Other

Staff Opportunities

Youthfront’s Day Camp program is offered at Camp LaCygne in LaCygne, KS. Overnight camp is held at Camp West in Edgerton, KS. From cabin leading, lifeguarding, and grounds to photography and marketing, we’ve got an array of summer positions to fit your interests and skills!

Internships

Many of our roles can be structured with or designed to pair with an onsite internship for credit or noncredit. Past Summer Staff have completed marketing, graphic design and business internships while working in a variety of paid camp roles.

Summer is full of choices. Where can you make the most difference?

Is God calling you to use your energy, talents and skills to pour into the next generation?

We know you can do a lot of other things with your summer: jobs, internships, summer class...but a
summer spent at Youthfront Camp will change you in the very best way. You'll be challenged, you'll be tired but you'll also laugh harder than you thought possible and experience so much joy seeing the impact you're making in the young lives of our campers.

With all the big life stuff just around the corner, come to camp and be a kid again. Be part of something special.

“I have made some of the most amazing friends ever this summer. I have friends that I know I’m going to be in their weddings and they know they’re going to be in mine. It is, for lack of a better term, like being in the trenches with people and I feel like you form the most intense bonds. We were just talking about this other day, it’s like there are so many things about being at a camp and working together at this place that you just share this really deep bond with each other, and it’s something that other people just won’t get because, you know, you don’t really get that experience as a barista. But being here, we’ve like lived together all summer and it’s a family more than it is a friendship.”

“The community here has felt safe. These people that I’ve been with, I think I can be myself and not feel excluded. I can just be myself and not be judged or anything. Also, just meeting the other cabin leaders and program staff, everyone that works at Youthfront is always so kind and always so supportive with anything that comes along. Being a Cabin Leader has had a pretty huge impact on my relationship with God, mainly through the kids because they have taught me so much I haven’t even known. And just seeing the kids bond over him too leaves me speechless.”

2023 Cabin Leader

The role of Cabin Leading isn’t for everyone. It’s for someone who intentionally wants to work with kids and be available emotionally and mentally for these kids and not have a problem with it. And that’s the great part about this for me personally. I want to be there and I want to do the best of my ability because the rest is all God. And that’s the beautiful part of Cabin Leading, is just seeing how God works through these kids throughout the week and how he’s able to speak and just move through them and just to see the growth from day one to day five.”

“The great thing about this community is while there are friend groups and people who may already know each other, there are zero links. After the summer, everyone stays in contact still. I mean, these are the people that you’re going to know for the rest of your life and keep in touch with ten years into the future. It’s the community you really want for your life.”

“Being at Youthfront has shaped my faith journey in a way that I was not expecting at all. When I first came here it was very hard for me to grasp the idea that God loves us. I used to view love as like, you do this in order to get this or I do that in order to get that. But as I’ve been here through learning and through singing and really listening to people, I learned that God’s love is unconditional. I started to accept that the songs we were singing were also about me. And I started to accept the scriptures we were reading were also about me. I just started to apply God’s love to myself, which is not something that I feel like I ever really did. So I feel like I learned God in a whole new way when I came here. It’s definitely changed a lot for the better.”

We also have internships with our YF Neighborhood Ministry!
