Day Camp Counselor
You get to bring the Bible to life and help children learn some amazing skills while having an amazing time!
SonShine Kids Day Camp is a weekly camp running Monday-Thursday in Tuskegee. Counselors serve alongside the mission teams to coordinate Bible lessons, recreation, educational enrichment, and more for 25-30 kids ages 6-11.
Each week children learn a life-skill module such as financial literacy, nutrition, health and first aid in addition to the Bible lessons.
Day Camp Counselors will have over 120 hours of classroom experience with kids from low-income communities making this a great opportunity for those interested in
elementary education, social work, psychology, or human development and families. As you love being with children and youth, this will be great fit for you!?
Construction Coordinator
You get to do hands on repairs, mentor youth, and love on some incredible people who need home repairs! Put your love of building into practical use!
Construction coordinators are the direct link between the youth teams and the families receiving home repair. Coordinators plan and design the projects and organize the building materials and tools for the youth teams. They ensure timely delivery of materials and help solve problems on the work sites.
As a Construction coordinator, you also gain hands-on residential construction experience (prior experience is preferred but not required) by serving with families seeking a home that is safe, warm, and dry. You will also learn invaluable
project planning and management skills as you coordinate plans, tools, and materials for our mission teams.
Site Leader
You get to lead and captain the team of four to five other college students and lead the overall mission site.
Site leaders manage and direct the summer mission intern and volunteer teams and oversee all operations at each mission site including meals and housing. As a spiritual guide to the team, they help keep a missional focus for the mission staff and the youth groups.
Site leaders are the direct link with each week’s new youth teams. They have typically served with ARM before, but exceptions are made for highly qualified candidates with great leadership and organizational skills in a missional context.
Intern Testimonials
I dedicated my summer to ARM as a Day Camp Counselor intern and it benefited me more than I could have imagined. As a Day Camp Counselor, you will have the opportunity to pour into the lives of young students and use your creativity
to make it exciting for them. This internship will give you the chance to make connections with people of all ages and backgrounds and that alone is priceless. If you are a college student in need of an internship, definitely talk
with the ARM team to see where you could fit!

Day Camp Counselor
Serving as an ARM Summer Mission Intern taught me a lot about what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ. As a Construction Coordinator, I got a lot of experience doing and managing, and preparing for home repair projects. As
a Site Leader, I had the privilege of helping the rest of the intern team to do ministry and was able to develop and put into practice servant leadership. Both of the summers that I served with ARM were amazing and helped me to be
better prepared for a life of Christian service.
