If you’re looking for a break from full-time study but don’t want a gap in your learning, you love Jesus, and you want to find people like you, then Summit is the right fit for you. Plus, there’s the perk of sharing Jesus with the next generation on camps.

Yes, you get paid. No, you don’t pay or fundraise. Plus, all the qualifications you receive are included in your salary package.

30-35 per year. Most camps are 3 days, 2 nights.

17+ years old and finished school. We recommend applying during Year 12 to ensure you don’t miss out on a spot.

Summit starts a two year contract, designed to maximise your growth, impact and the qualifications you are working towards. However, there is a possible exit point after one year or you can stay on longer than the two years and move into senior roles.

You can work towards a Cert II in Outdoor Recreation, Cert III in Outdoor Leadership, Cert IV in Ministry and Theology. Check out our Qualifications Explained page to find out more.

You don’t need to be an experienced leader to join Summit or have an outdoor recreational background. You just need a heart for Jesus and a fundamental understanding of the Bible, then we’ll train you to become a confident Christian leader.

The experience you gain at Summit is transferable to any career, including people skills, teamwork, leadership, communication, and project management.

We have a page dedicated to your parents! Share our Parent page with them, it should answer all their questions.
