A Paid Gap Year Program
for Young Adults

Work, Live,
Play & Grow

As part of this 12 month Apostleship Program you will be challenged to become an effective leader. An apostle is someone who is an ardent supporter of Jesus. You will get to help lead multiple 500 camper retreats, camps, and much more. This will be an incredible time with meaningful, hands-on work experience.

This is more than a job. It's a community that will support you as we work together in adventure, Disciple Team leadership, guest services, kitchen, office, program, or all of the above. You will come alongside our full-time staff, and together we will provide campers, youth groups, church groups, and school groups the best retreats and programmed events we can provide.

Israel or Turkey Trip

Part of the Apostleship Program experience will be a 10-day trip to either Israel or a Footsteps of Paul tour. This is a great opportunity for our group to go overseas and learn more about these regions. We will also spend extended time studying scripture that will tie into the trips before and afterward. This experience is provided as a part of the Apostleship Program training, but some spending money will be needed. Participants must have a valid passport.
