Work Crew

Kids Camp Assistant Counselor

Mandatory Meetings

To be part of Work Crew this summer, students must attend two mandatory meetings prior to camp: one big group meeting on Sunday, April 28th, after church, and then a second meeting on Sunday, May 19th, after church. In between these two meetings, JT will meet with each person individually. This is part of the work-crew sign-up this summer. Assistant Counselors will also be required to attend Kids' Camp training(s). However, those dates and times are still to be decided.

Fee Acknowledgement

There may be some fees associated with participating in Work Crew or as a Associate Counselor, mainly to cover meals, transportation, lodging, etc. Please acknowledge that you understand this.

Meet the youth Pastor

Born and raised in Glen Ellyn, IL, I grew up about 40 minutes outside Chicago. After a series of moves, I've landed in Phoenix. I am excited to be serving in the youth ministry here at Open Door. I am especially excited for the times where I get to see students really take ownership of their faith. While I enjoy the fun and games of a Wednesday night, nothing gets me more excited than sitting down with a student over a cup of coffee or pastry at Panera Bread. When I'm not in the office, I'm probably either cleaning the floor, little pine needles and leafs on the floor are my peeve. Or a more exciting hobby is competition, I don't think I've ever lost a board game.
