what team assistants will experience & learn
The Team Assistant Program allows each church group to bring their best high school juniors and seniors, or even college students to be adult sponsors for the week of CentriKid.
age requirement
Must be a rising junior, senior, or college age
responsibilities
They will work alongside the CentriKid staff helping out with recreation and track times
benefits for your group
Bringing TAs will allow you to use young adults from your own church to help minister to your kids. This is a great way to create true heroes in your youth. This can also create healthy relationship within your congregation.
These students count towards the standard 1 to 5 adult to kid ratio, and housed with their church group like all other adults. As an added bonus, they get to work alongside the CentriKid staff helping out with recreation and track times — giving them a behind-the-scenes look at serving as a CentriKid camp staffer.
There is no additional cost to the program – team assistants pay the standard camp participant price. Churches will identify any Team Assistants on their participant form, submitted 2 weeks prior to camp.
CentriKid has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. After I left camp during my Red Team year, I remember counting down the summers until I could come back as a Team Assistant! I am beyond thankful to have gotten to participate as a TA for three summers. It was such a invaluable experience (and who doesn’t love getting to go to camp)! I not only got to pour into the lives of children from my home church, but I was so encouraged by the CentriKid staff. The way that the staff poured into me meant more than I can express. So much so, that I am returning for my second summer as a CentriKid Staffer! One thing that I love about being a TA is that, unlike the CentriKid staff, you get to go home with the campers. The relationships you foster at camp are able to continue to grow when you go home! You can’t beat that!
