Today, The Salvation Army has eight camps in the South and over 40 across the country. Working at a Salvation Army camp isn't like other jobs. You will earn an income, you will receive invaluable job experience, and you will make friendships that will last you a lifetime - but, unlike most other summer jobs, you will also powerfully impact the life of a child or teen for the better. At Salvation Army camps, disadvantaged kids (in particular) have three square meals a day, have the opportunity to further develop social skills, learn creation care, feel valued, and encounter God's love. You will never regret saying "yes" to camp this summer. Apply for a Salvation Army camp and be part of something bigger than yourself: making lives better in Jesus' name.
