Monday, January 26, 2009 Summer Service Opportunities - 1.26.09 By laneglaze @ 9:09 AM :: 454 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: Missions   Friends,   It is that time of year when I get numerous emails relating to summer service opportunities. Here’s a few things that have come my way in recent weeks:   Camp Collide (www.campcollide.org) – This will be their third year in New Orleans and first year in the Upstate. Our own Chris Conley will be the Camp Director in New Orleans. They are looking for staff now.   Students In Mission (formerly the SIP program) – Each summer 12-14 students serve as missionaries across SC on behalf of the South Carolina Conference in locations such as Camp Providence (Anderson), Rural Mission (Johns Island) and UMRC (Mt. Pleasant). Contact me for an application.   Asbury Hills Summer Camp (www.asburyhills.org) – Over the years dozens of CU students have served at this camp just 45 minutes from Clemson in upper Greenville County. A CW alum, Andrew Wolfe, will be serving as the Camp Director once again this year before he heads to seminary in the fall. Andrew will also be speaking at Evensong this coming Sunday night (2/1 @ 5 pm).   Project Transformation Internships (www.projecttransformation.org) – Located in Dallas, TX, this ministry “is making an impact in the lives of young adults from across the country. Every year, 100 college students serve in one-year and summer internships providing Christian programs for inner-city children and youth, exploring various opportunities in ministry, and developing leadership skills.  Project Transformation offers these young adults an opportunity to serve others in need, deepen their faith, and discern where God may be calling them in their next steps.”   SummerShine Resort Ministry (www.summershine.us) - Summershine Resort Ministry places Christian college-age young adults (and a limited number of mature high school students) in secular campgrounds to work for the summer.  Staffers are paid to do various campground chores, and also provide activities for families on vacation.  These activities include chapel services, skit shows, pool parties, tye-dye, and more.  Summershine hires young people who are willing to work hard and be a Godly example both on the clock and off the clock. The opportunities for evangelism are ample in this role.  Participation in this program gives students a way to develop and grow in their own walk with Christ, as well as gain real-world working experience.  Last summer, positions were available across the country in 10 different KOA (Kampgrounds of America) properties including: Myrtle Beach, SC, Cape Hatteras, NC, Cherokee, NC, Virginia Beach, VA, Williamsburg, VA, Mystic, CT, Boston/Cape Cod, MA, Mt. Rushmore, SD, Santa Cruz, CA, and Trinity Lake, CA. I'll forward others when they come to my attention in the coming weeks.  lane Rev. C.
