Summer Jobs

The Best Summer Job You’ll Ever Have

Why Work at Camp Eagle?

Fair Warning: this summer will totally ruin your idea of a summer job.

Forget the average summer gig. Imagine spending your summer pouring the love of Jesus into amazing kids while calling the Texas Hill Country your backyard.

You could be leading adventures, investing in campers, making lifelong friends, and growing in ways you never expected. It’s hard work. It’s the best work. One minute you’re flying down a 3,000-foot zip line, and the next, you’re having a deep conversation by the Nueces River that changes a camper’s life (and maybe yours, too).

Spend Your Summer in Awe

You’ll be in awe of Jesus. In awe of changed lives. In awe of nature. In awe that this is actually your job! It’s loud, it’s wild, and it’s a total blast. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you — once you’ve worked at Camp Eagle, every other job is going to feel a little bit boring.

3,000 Ft Zip Line

The ultimate daily commute.
You never leave Camp Eagle the same person as when you show up, and I can say after 2 summers of working here, each summer God has shown me new things in my own heart that need growth, and He never fails to use me for His glory. It's hard to put into words, and pictures can't even capture the joy and beauty that is Camp Eagle and the memories it brings. Rocksprings has a special place in my heart.
