Summer Internship Opportunity with Bel-Aire

Bel-Aire Community Inner-City Summer Camp is looking for about 15 interns to work with them this summer in the following positions:

1. Kids' Younger Camp (1st-5th grades) - 5 interns

  • Meets at 28 Seth Street which has the basketball court and more rooms - pretty much having Vacation Bible School, crafts, etc. all summer.  They will also have their own field trips and special events.
  • When Camp is over each day, these interns will plan for the next day, assist staff, and/or join the other interns at Older Camp when needed.
  • Part-time intern positions are also available with younger camp if there are openings.

2. Kids' Older Camp (6th grade and up) - 5 interns

  • Meets at 38 Seth Street in the conference room for guest speakers, small group Bible studies, etc. and will have 28 Seth Street facility after 1:00 pm.  
  • We will be taking older kids away for a weekend retreat this year and more one-on-one time will be stressed (pairing kids/interns that click together).

3. Community Development Team - 5 interns

  • These interns will help organize and manage the volunteers working with Bel-Aire over the summer.
  • Labor skills are preferred, but not required, as the goal is that most of the work is done by the volunteers while our interns supervise that work as they work alongside each team.
  • The work will be done on Tuesday through Friday.  Mondays will be spent planning work for the week and talking with neighbors.  

The summer schedule will be as follows:

  • Intern training/camp planning starts on Monday, May 18th or one week after interns get out of school (whichever comes later).
  • Camp begins Friday, June 5th and ends Friday, August 12th (9 1/2 weeks)
    •  Both camps run Monday through Friday.
    • Interns meet to plan and pray at 8:00 am.  Kids are picked up at 9:00 am.  Younger Camp ends at 1:00 pm, Older Camp ends at 4:00 pm.  
  • Both camps will have at least one outing a week including the zoo/picnic, Greenville Drive baseball game, whitewater rafting, camping, hiking, rock climbing, and possibly Six Flags.  Older kids will have at least one job/career day outing to a plant or local business.  All kids will have community service hours to complete as part of being involved in camp.
Intern Specifics
  • Interns are asked to raise their own salary of $2,500 and will be paid 100% of the amount raised, up to $2,500.
  • Two weeks of training will be conducted prior to camp starting.  
  • All interns will be given a one week vacation during the summer.
