Who We Are

The mission of Lionheart / Skylark is to see the lives of children and families transformed by the Gospel through Christ-centered childcare and summer camps, in partnership with the local church.

• Purpose of Skylark: To grow the family of God in depth, number, and intimacy.
• Vision of Skylark: That every child would have a hero, that families would be rooted in church community, and that our staff would grow in the likeness of Christ.
• Mission of Skylark: To make disciples of Jesus by partnering with local churches and operating excellent, gospel-integrated camps.

Who We're Hiring

We're looking for a Christ-centered, high-energy leader who loves kids, loves ministry, and thrives in fast-paced, mission-driven environments. The ideal Seasonal Camp Director is someone who is:

• A disciple-maker at heart
• A confident leader who can manage both people and programs
• Spiritually mature, teachable, and grounded in the Gospel
• Skilled at building relationships with families, staff, and church partners
• Organized, proactive, and joyful in the midst of "camp chaos"
• Passionate about creating fun, safe, meaningful experiences for every camper

In short: If you love Jesus, love kids, and love helping a team flourish, you'll thrive here.

The Camp Director serves in a ministerial role during the camp season-helping accomplish Skylark's mission through evangelism, discipleship, and shepherding. While this position carries leadership responsibility, it is seasonal in nature and centered on the unique ministry opportunities of summer programming.

The most important outcomes are the spiritual outcomes supporting the purpose, vision, and mission. The Camp Director shepherds like Christ (1 Peter 5:1-4): praying for the team, ministering through Scripture, and equipping staff for kingdom impact through gospel-integrated environments, evangelism, church invitations, and discipleship.
