International Volunteers

Mount Carmel Ministries is a place of rest, renewal, and recreation where people experience Jesus. Every summer Mount Carmel calls 30 college-aged young adults to serve our family camp guests. Serving at Mount Carmel is a discipleship experience in which international volunteers get to try on leadership, live out their faith, develop a servant’s heart, grow in their knowledge of the Bible, and develop a close Christian community. International Volunteers attend daily devotions, lead worship, organize games, wash dishes, clean cabins, and partner with families in prayer and support. Mount Carmel is unique in its intergenerational approach to camp, serving guests ranging from newborns to folks in their 90s concurrently while providing tailored programming to each group. Due to the nature of Mount Carmel’s family ministry, those who serve international volunteers differ from camp counselors as they are never directly responsible for youth and are focused on the religious experience of serving in a ministry like Mount Carmel. They can focus entirely on building relationships with campers through service and leading activities. 

Mount Carmel celebrates Christians around the world who proclaim Jesus. We invite international Christians to come and join us in our mission to be a place where people experience Jesus through rest, renewal, and recreation and to lift up our ministry with special perspectives from those abroad. We help those interested in Mount Carmel discern their call and with transportation costs to Mount Carmel.
