Are you looking for a dynamic ministry to join?
Whether it be this summer or throughout the year, as an employee or as a volunteer, seasonal or full time- Streamside has opportunities for you! If you are interested, or have questions please contact us by phone at 570-629-1902, or email us at staff@streamside.org
Summer Camp
The biggest need is for adult cabin counselors/skill activity instructors to supervise, teach and minister to campers spiritually. In addition, a safe and successful summer requires specialty staff such as lifeguards, medical personnel, technology and media crew, musicians, worship leaders, Bible teachers and program specialists.
Streamside staff members who commit to the entire summer outreach program receive compensation. There are a limited number of extended stay options for the month of August.
Can’t serve the whole summer? Consider volunteering for one or two weeks.
Streamside Off Season Camps and Retreats
For those who want to invest in the lives of older campers, we host an intergenerational retreat on Labor Day for Streamside alumni age 16 to adult.
Weekend Retreats
Arise Leadership Program
Streamside’s Service & Leadership Training (SLT) is designed for young people who want to mature in the Christian faith and have a desire to serve God and others.
Streamside’s Counselor In Training (CIT) is the next step for young adults to serve alongside an experienced cabin counselor and develop their leadership skills and put their Christian walk into practice
