Join us this summer for a great adventure!

Extreme Makeover

Spend a week surrounded by God's amazing creation while we journey through the Bible learning about how you can have an extreme makeover!

You will also have the opportunity to pick up skills in archery, fishing, photography, creative arts, nature, and many more.

New this year will be a Thousand Yard Walk! We will explore our solar system and the vast space between each planet and our sun as we walk 1000 paces.

At Bliss Summit Bible Camp you will find caring counselors who want to know you and share with you a message more important than anything else you'll ever hear.

Campers will also learn about God’s gift of salvation, how to grow in relationship with Him, and the rich and fulfilling life He has for us when we choose to serve Him.

What Are You Doing This Summer?

We are currently on the lookout for potential staff members for this summer. If you don’t mind getting paid very little or nothing, getting only a few hours of sleep a night, and eating camp food you will love Bliss Summit Bible Camp! If you work with us this summer you will experience God working in your life as you see him using you to make a real lasting difference in the life of someone else. Spend a whole wek changing a campers life. Then do it over again week after week! If you are 14 or older you could work at camp as a kitchen helper, counselor in training (CIT), counselor, teacher, maintenance worker, or speaker. Please pray that God would send the workers we need and consider your part with us this summer. We are also on the look out for a camp nurce for the summer or just a week.

Here is what one former staff member had to say:

“What are you doing this summer?” I’m sure you’ve heard that question several times already this year, and summer is still some distance off. The common answer is “Who knows? Working, I suppose.”

With college weighing on the minds of many teens, earning money is a very important item to consider. Last spring, as a senior in high school, it certainly occupied a lot of my thoughts. I already had two job offers that looked appealing in order to help pay for fall semester.

However, God had different plans. I had originally figured on teaching Bible classes at camp, and working elsewhere for the remainder of the day. Then, the Bliss Summit newsletter came and I read a couple of sentences that changed my ideas. Someone had said—and I paraphrase—“Let’s say a year of college costs $15,000, and the average summer job will earn about $2,000. If you can trust God to be faithful for 13K, can’t you trust Him for the whole 15K?” Granted, the college I would be attending cost about twice that amount, but I knew that God was sending me a distinct message: “Trust me.”

I ended up working for several weeks as a counselor last year, and the experience was far more than rewarding; it changed my perspective on how faithful God really is. God, when referring to tithing, says “Test me in this…and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” (Malachi 3:10) God wants us to trust him with our time, our finances, and our futures. The future can be a scary thing for us as teenagers, but God promises to take care of those who trust him. Not only that, He will use us in incredible ways to impact the lives of others. Did I think I could be a counselor? Certainly not. I was terrified, but guess what: He was faithful in that as well.

As I write this, I look around my dorm room and smile. God has provided for me in ways more amazing than I could have imagined. Not everyone is being called to work at camp this summer, but if you do trust God wherever you serve, don’t be surprised when He provides. After all, He already knows what you’ll be doing this summer.
