Working here means bringing the fun, living out God's love in real time, and helping campers see the true Hero, Jesus, in everything we do. Skylark isn't just a camp; it's a bridge that welcomes families into a loving local church community. Where we are: Cottonwood Creek Church - Allen, TX The Heights Church - Richardson, TX Church at the Creek - McKinney, TX What You'll Do Lead and care for your campers - cheering them on, supporting them physically and emotionally, and helping them grow spiritually throughout the week. Guide your crew through the daily rhythm of camp - from drop-off hype to rallies, rotations, outdoor play, and pickup high-fives. Bring the energy during program activities - helping create a fun, safe, consistent environment where campers can thrive. Jump in with setup and tear-down each day - because camp magic happens when everyone pitches in. Teach activity classes with clarity, creativity, and strong safety practices (fun + safety = Skylark). Prioritize health and safety, reporting any injuries, illnesses, or concerns immediately. Use loving, consistent discipline and follow proper reporting channels - TBRI principles included. Communicate what's going on with your campers - their wins, challenges, moods, and moments - so your Camp Director always has a full picture. Jump in wherever needed to support your Camp Director and the overall ministry of Skylark. Camp life = all hands, all heart.
