OCE Education Program

We have enjoyed hosting your school as guests as a part of our OCE education program. We wanted to extend the invite to your students to come back this summer as staff! Camp Staff get to live in community with other peers in cabins and do life together throughout the summer; growing in God's creation through His truth and serving guests who come to enjoy the Fair Havens community.

We are looking for youth and young adults (14 - 25 years old) who might be interested in serving at our camp this Summer here at Fair Havens! We have many positions available, kids’ ministry, recreation, spiritual formation, community life, lifeguards, maintenance, dining hall, office, cafe, housekeeping, and more! Our staff will have many opportunities to grow and learn through community, work excellence, and spiritual formation.

We would love it if you would be willing to advertise for our camp at your school and at your local church. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
