Yes, our summer internships combine paid work as well as extensive unpaid educational and training opportunities that are considered a benefit of the internship.

If your degree program requires you to take part in an internship, we would be happy to work with you to design an internship that would meet the criteria required by your institution. Details regarding paid vs. unpaid will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Kairos interns can expect to work full time throughout the duration of their internship. Exact hours and the weekly schedule of each Internship are dependent on the Ministry you are placed with, as will be stated in your contract and job description. Included in this time are classes and training that are considered a benefit to the internship experience.

Yes, Grace Church host families are provided for those participating in Kairos Summer. Summer interns are strongly encouraged to live with a Host Family for the duration of their internship. We consider this portion of the internship an integral component to the Kairos experience. We encourage all of our interns to spend intentional time with their families, learn from them, and allow them to be a part of your internship experience.

No, this is a full-time internship that requires all of your time, energy and passion. Kairos Summer interns need to be “all here” for the summer in order to get the desired experience.

Kairos Summer is an 11-week program, beginning Monday, May 24, and ending Thursday, August 5. Due to the nature of this program, it is our hope that interns be “all here” and gain the full experience Kairos Summer has to offer. That being said, we are happy to discuss desired dates off, which will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Please let our Internship staff know any dates you will be requesting as soon as possible. Throughout the internship, all interns may expect to participate in at least one of our summer mission trips through our Outreach Ministry department. Interns should plan to set aside the dates July 24-30 to participate in an all-intern mission trip to Allendale, SC. Outside of this week, mission trip placement will be determined and worked around dates submitted and approved.

Applications for Kairos Summer have now closed.

Camp Impact is held in Allendale, SC. However, the Camp Staff Experience will begin in Greenville, SC with pre-camp training and conclude with a post-camp staff retreat on the coast. All summer staff will report to Greenville by Tuesday following Memorial Day, and the program will conclude on the first Tuesday in August. Additionally, camp staff will have the week of July 4 off.

Camp staff works a 7-hour day of camp Monday–Friday. Additionally, there will be team meetings that take place on Sunday afternoons that are mandatory for each staff member to attend in order to prepare for the following week of camp. Outside of camp hours, staff will also meet together on certain weeknights for development training, staff devotionals, and small groups.

Applications for Camp Staff 2023 are currently closed, but if you are interested in applying for Summer 2024, please contact Margaret Middleton. Camp Staff positions will be filled on a rolling basis as we prepare for the upcoming summer program. After you have submitted your application, you will hear from us regarding scheduling an interview.

During the application process, you will have a chance to indicate which position you are most interested in serving as. However, as we try to accommodate your request, we ask that you be flexible and prepared to serve in any position at Camp Impact.

During the short stay in Greenville, each staff member will have a host family to welcome them to Greenville and provide a place to stay! However, in Allendale, camp staff lives in gender specific houses in the Allendale and Fairfax area.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to work another job. It is recommended you do not take any summer classes. Life at camp can be demanding, and we want each staff member to be able to focus solely on their responsibilities in Allendale and serve well throughout the summer. If there seems to be a conflict, please let us know beforehand and we will see if something can be worked out.

Yes.

Semester Internships will be based out of any of our ten Grace Church Campuses in the upstate of South Carolina. Start dates occur on a rotating basis in the summer, fall, and spring semesters based on the needs of your degree program.

Because college credit is being received for semester internships, this is an unpaid internship. Housing may be arranged if needed.

If your degree program requires you to take part in an internship, we will work with you to design an internship that would meet the criteria required by your institution.
