What is an intern's role at camp?

  • Huddle Leader
  • Huddle Leaders are leaders of a small group of athletes at camp. Responsibilities include:
  • getting campers to events on time
  • facilitating small group discussion
  • participating in camp activities/drills/competitions
  • loving your campers
  • Potential Public Speaking
  • Sharing Your Testimony, Leading a Devotional, Reciting Scripture, etc.
  • Other responsibilities at the discretion of your supervisor and camp director
  • Leading ice breakers, coaching in Doing Sports God's Way sessions, etc.


"Some of the biggest takeaways I have had from being a huddle leader at FCA camps is first, that being a huddle leader is not about me. It’s not about me trying to be the cool huddle leader, or about how many kids I can impact. Actually, it’s all about God. As a huddle leader, I am a servant. A servant to what God wants to do during camp, and a servant to my hudlets to help them in any way I can. And I’ll help, not for my own glory, but to glorify God and show the hudlets an example of Christ’s love for them. Any transformation of life that occurs at camp is not by your own doing, but solely God’s, because He is the one who turns hearts. Our job is to love and lead well and pray over the kids, asking God to work and move in their hearts. Another thing is that you might not see anything “big” happen in your huddle, and that’s okay. We know that God is the one who works anyway, so we have to trust that God is working in their hearts. Plus, nothing might surface at camp, but their lives could be completely transformed once they are back home, and we just have to trust that God will be faithful in continually pursuing the kids, even back at home. You have to accept that you might not get to see the impact that camp had on them."

Distance Camp is a camp focused on long distance runners. Every morning the whole camp gets up and goes on a run. The rule is that you can run as fast and as far as you want – which also means you can run as slow and as NOT far as you want. That being said, don’t count yourself out for Distance Camp if you aren’t a runner! One intern in 2021 was a 6 foot, 220 pound football player at Nebraska Wesleyan, and he was a huddle leader at Distance Camp. YOU CAN DO IT TOO.

Leadership Camp is a camp for athletes in all sports. You learn what it truly means to Do Sports God's Way as you are put through camp-wide workouts and competitions. There is a big focus on leading your team, whether it be on the field or off. This camp is intense in all aspects -- physically, mentally, and spiritually, and through the intensity comes great growth.

"This camp is so hype," one 2022 Summer Intern said. "I lost my voice from yelling so much this week, which has never happened to me. I think I yelled more this week than I ever have in my whole life combined, but don't worry, the yelling was all out of hype, cheering and excitement." Additionally, losing your voice while serving at Leadership Camp is not an isolated experience -- it has happened to many throughout the years :)
