You will experience one of the best summers of your life by sharing the gospel with kids, living in community, and making memories & friendships that are so special. God works in mighty ways in the lives of campers, but also is faithful to do a mighty work in you. The best decision I made was saying “yes” to God as he was leading me to serve at YAA.

I felt like I knew all of the Joshuas for years, when in reality I had only known them for a couple of months. I couldn’t have dreamt that I would have gotten as close as I did to my fellow Joshuas this summer. YAA is a place to share God’s gospel of love with kids and a place to grow individually in a strong community!

Working as an assistant in the YAA kitchen shaped my love for service behind the scenes. It wasn’t always glamorous or calm, but laughter prevailed through it all. I really value the times spent around the counter chopping vegetables for salad while enjoying conversation with others who dropped by or belting out one of our favorite songs. It was  a time of growth in my desire to serve, and a time of great fun!

Being on staff at YAA was the most enriching experience in my faith and character. Serving alongside amazing people in an environment that fosters service, care, and growth through challenge was a humbling experience that  showed me more of who God is. God is active and made us for community—with him and other believers. I’ve seen and experienced the Holy Spirit’s work through changes in camper’s hearts, growth in leaders, and in the environment of YAA.

The community here is like no other. It is in a beautiful part of Montana. Be prepared to see God work through you and to invest in campers.

Working at YAA will be one of the most challenging and growth filled summers of your life with community like you have never experienced before.
