Join the Camp BlueSky Team!
Every year from late May through July, our camp season, an amazing group of college and university students join us as volunteers at Camp BlueSky, a unique adventure camp in Nairobi, Kenya, for 7 to 18-year-olds.
Our campers represent diverse nationalities and faith backgrounds. Throughout five sessions of camp, the Camp BlueSky team serves over 500 campers, with an average of 120 campers each week!
The team plays an integral part in the ministry of Camp BlueSky - whether it's by teaching a craft, cheering on activities, performing skits, leading devotions, or simply being an older friend in whom to confide. Through every interaction, they have the opportunity to meet campers where they are - spiritually, emotionally, and relationally -
and point them to Jesus through word and action.
Adventure is Calling!
Spend 10 weeks between May to August serving on Camp BlueSky's seasonal team, investing in the lives of kids and teens through fun, adventure, and genuine relationships.
