WORK CENTRIKID

Get ready to have the summer of your life!

make a difference in the lives of kids

CentriKid staffers are young adults with a passion for hanging out with kids and sharing Christ through everything they do!

Every staffer must complete the application process and be interviewed by a member of our Office Team. A great staffer has to have skills, experience, and most of all, a passion for seeing kids come to know the Lord. Our staff and their desire to invest in the lives of kids at every possible moment is our greatest asset.

Staff set examples for kids that far outlive the themes and happenings of camp, and constantly strive towards our goal to make sure that every person that leaves CentriKid has a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ.

Centrikid Camps has deepened my relationship with Christ and shown me the sweet joy of sharing the gospel with this new generation of children. CentriKid has equipped me with the confidence and tools to go out and be a disciple for the Kingdom of God. Life change truly happens at camp, and you never know when a child will make a decision that changes their eternity.

Nick ACK Staffer

Before staffing, I had never been to CentriKid. However, it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with camp and the culture. Everything at camp circles back to the gospel, and sharing it with the kids is a privilege! Working camp will draw you closer to the Lord, bring you incredible friends, and give you memories that’ll last a lifetime!

Gracee D CK Staffer

I have been working with CentriKid for three summers, and I do not believe that I would be the same person that I am today without my experiences and lessons learned from CK. I have seen so many lives changed and gotten to be a part of something so much greater than myself. From HQ to staffers, CK is truly the most sincere ministry that I have ever been a part of.

Brooke TCK Staffer

I love CentriKid so much. As a camper, I had an unforgettable time and my two years as a staffer have been no different. Working camp the past few summers has been the best summers of my life!

Austin TCK Staffer

Camp is the most life-changing experience for both campers and staff! You can see joy, salvation, and God’s faithfulness day in and day out! I am always so thankful for my time spent at CentriKid!

Camille TCK Staffer

I have absolutely loved working camp! The entire experience is such a fun and rewarding time. You are sharing the gospel for your job and nothing beats that! I have grown so much this summer – from pouring into the campers and the Lord teaching me so many things. This is truly the best summer job there is and you won’t regret dedicating your summer to the Lord’s work!

Kate DCK Staffer

I work at CentriKid because I have seen how much the Lord has used this ministry in kids’ lives, but at the same time, I have seen it impact my own life. Day-in and day-out, you get the opportunity to teach, lead, and build relationships in a way that gives glory to God. The Gospel is woven into every part of what CentriKid is and that makes a difference.
