Food Services Internship

About

The Food Services Internship is a great place to sharpen your cooking skills while serving God and fueling life-changing adventures. Interns will be trusted to assist the Food Services Team in preparing meals and cleaning up. Plus they may have opportunity to develop new recipes, serve as the "head cook," lead volunteers, and mentor others. Interns are required to uphold all Camp Bighorn policies.

If you don't have prior experience, that's okay. Responsibilities can be adjusted to suit your skill-level and goals for the internship.

Applicants are not expected to have all the answers about Jesus, however, they are expected to display an active faith in Him, rooted in God's Word. The mission at Bighorn is to embody the love of Jesus and develop Christ-honoring leaders, so showing Christ-like love and helping others grow in faith is important!

The Food Services team forms its own Bible study group, due to schedules that vary from the rest of staff, wherein spiritual discussions based on Scripture help everyone mature in their relationship with the Lord.

While these tasks are common, applicants with concern about physical limitations will still be considered.

Camper Safety
