High School LEADERS

Youth throughout the Twin Cities metro area are invited to apply to be part of the youth leadership team for Building Beloved Community; South Minneapolis Day Camp 2025—a progressive, ecumenical day camp experience offering faith formation in a fun, safe, Christ-centered and relational setting.  Our theme this year is “Building Beloved Community.”

As in past years, we hope to have a strong youth leadership team of at least 12 youth to help make the camp meaningful, successful, and fun!

What is youth leadership staff?

Youth leaders will be a vital part of day camp. They will:

• Provide leadership for a specific group of campers throughout the week

• Build community among campers

• Lead activities as we discover what your gifts and skills are

• Show respect towards all campers

• Be a positive role model for the campers 

Eligibility

• Youth who are entering 9th grade in the fall of 2025, in high school, or graduating high school this spring are eligible to apply. 

• Youth must be available for all of day camp: June 16-20, from 8:30am—4:30pm. Slight exceptions may be allowed.

• Youth must be available for a training before camp begins. The training will be Sunday, June 15 from 5 - 7 pm at Diamond Lake Lutheran Church. If you have a conflict, we may be able to accommodate. 

Compensation

Youth will be paid $150 for their work at day camp. We intend that the money go towards a church-related activity—for example, towards a camp experience or youth trip. But that is not required.
