I just got back from church camp in florida as a graduated high school senior. does anyone know of any church camps aimed for college students or young adults? i tried to look for some but just really found church camps for jr high or high school students. any information would be greatly appreciated!!!

honestly, I haven't seen one for college students. however, some camps do hire volunteers or actually hire camp staff. so, you could probably do that. as a camper i attended one church camp and became a counselor when i turned 16. another camp- this one isn't a church camp but is a good example- it is called heart camp and it is a camp for children with heart problems. when you are 16 you become a junior counselor, then at 18 a counselor- i've gone since i was 11. so, i would just search camps you can be a counselor at because i've never seen ones where you could be a camper...

Usually at that point, such things are merged in with adult ministries, so you'd have women's retreats, etc.
There are college/career groups/ministries that may have retreats as well.

Best move is to look into the Christian ministries on campus. IVCF and Campus Crusade are on virtually every campus in the country and they tend to have retreats and programs in the summer.
That said, college is also a good time to be demonstrating that you can participate in the workforce. It would be good to have some recognizable work experience on your resume. Working at a Christian camp might be a good move, but some employers look for more secular 40 hour/week jobs. (I was a lifeguard/counselor at a Scout camp for a summer in HS and respect just how much work camp employees do, but an eight hour/day job is seen as more closely related to a full time professional job than 16 hours/day at a camp)
Is there any way to do one or two weeks of a retreat and then spend the rest of the summer working at home in retail, at a pool/the beach, or in a factory? Besides the fact that it will probably pay better, it will give you an edge when applying for an intership or your first year-round job.
