The mission of Lionheart / Skylark is to see the lives of children and families transformed by the Gospel through Christ-centered childcare and summer camps, in partnership with the local church.
Purpose of Skylark: To grow the family of God in depth, number, and intimacy.
Vision of Skylark: That every child would have a hero, that families would be rooted in church community, and that our staff would grow in the likeness of Christ.
Mission of Skylark: To make disciples of Jesus by partnering with local churches and operating excellent, gospel-integrated camps.
Who We're Hiring:
We're looking for gospel-minded men and women (18+) to join our Skylark family this summer as a Camp Flex Counselor! You'll serve kids, build deep community, grow through discipleship, and have an unforgettable summer.
Great fit? A Camp Flex Counselor is someone who is teachable, humble, fun-loving, and ready to make an impact.
Every kid needs a HERO - someone who cheers them on, believes in them, and shows them the love of Jesus. That's exactly what a Camp Flex Counselor gets to be at Skylark. 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.
What You'll Need:
Maturity and rock-solid follow-through - when you say you'll do something, you do it.
A jump-in, pitch-in, “let's make it happen” mindset - camp life waits for no one!
Enough energy to power a rally and enthusiasm for fast-paced days.
Relationship-building superpowers and a heart for cultivating a fun, healthy, Christ-centered team culture.
A Christ-like attitude and example - in the big things, the small things, and everything in between.
Attendance at Summer Staff Orientation and Training Week - the launchpad for a great summer.
A commitment of at least 5 weeks of summer service - because the kids need you!
Reliable transportation so you arrive ready to roll each day.
Availability Monday-Friday, 8 hours a day sometime between 7:00am-5:30pm (40 hours/week).
The physical ability to be on your feet, move around, and jump into high-energy activities - indoors, outdoors, sunshine, rain... camp doesn't slow down!
