Intern at Pioneer Plunge
The purpose of a Pioneer Plunge intern is to facilitate growth spiritually, physically, and emotionally to the campers. Interns are the front lines of our ministry at Pioneer Plunge. They lead campers through the week in cooking, safety, content, hiking, wood splitting, navigating and spontaneous fun.
Guides have a heart for serving and pointing campers to the loving arms of Jesus. Guiding is a great opportunity to grow in your own relationship with the Lord while being part of a fun and encouraging community.
