General Information
Beechpoint’s purpose is to share the saving grace of Jesus Christ with boys and girls, primarily from urban areas, and to aid in drawing them to a relationship with Jesus. Our programs are high energy, fun-filled, multicultural, and relationship focused. Our campers grow in their faith thanks to a caring and committed staff, spiritual emphasis in every activity, and a year-round discipleship program.
Beechpoint’s summer staff positions are much like a short-term missions project. They require a ten week commitment and are focused on service, relationships, recreation and teaching. Summer staff applicants must be at least 18 years of age, and leadership applicant’s average 21 years of age. If you are at least 14 and would like to be a part of making camp happen, visit our Leaders In Train page.
