Campers, 14–16-Year-olds, may apply to participate in this program.
The Camper Intern Adventure program exists to build young believers into strong leaders who know Christ personal, Grow in Him daily, Serve Him sacrificially, and joyfully experience life.
The CIA program is for teens who want to grow in their relationship with Christ. Teens who desire to grow through being in God’s word and put their faith into action through service.
CIAs spend the week unplugged in the outdoors. They work with incredible camp staff and learn to serve. They grow as they build relationships, engage in recreation, and are challenged to personally dive into God’s word.
It is our goal for CIAs to leave camp with a better understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Christ and what it takes to make the CRS magic for our campers!
Something New for CIAs in 2026. This year the CIA program will head off campus for a day of personal and team building challenges at the Old Mountain Outdoor Adventures. Campers. Your CIA will face personal encounters as they traverse the high-challenge course elements.

Leadership Training Camp (LTC) a Two-Week Camp, July 5-17, 2026
What is Leadership Training Camp (LTC)?
Leadership Training Camp is a two-week opportunity for 16 and 17-year-old campers who are interested in serving the Lord and learning what it really takes to serve in a Christian camp setting.
Campers will have a great understanding of what it is like to work in a camping setting. They will learn the CRS leadership concepts of “Move Your Canoe”, a leadership pattern for life. It is our hope that they will see the value of working in a camp setting and how God opens up many doors to share the Love of Jesus with campers.
While being a LTC camper (LTCer) does not guarantee a spot as a CRS chief, it is our goal that they finish with a clear understanding of how to lead themselves and others in knowing and following Christ as savior. This will prepare them to serve as future leaders at CRS or another Christian camp setting.
Why two weeks?
Two weeks gives participants a week of learning and a week of putting into action what they have learned. Participants will go beyond the typical CIA experience to learn how to lead themselves and others to be disciples daily. To serve Christ sacrificially and joyfully. And to experience the fullness of life every day through worship the LORD in every circumstance.
