• Overview:

  This summer ETBE will select up to 24 students who are over 16 years of age or older by Summer 2017. Each student must have a strong desire to serve as a missionary for Jesus Christ while working at the camp during June and July, and while on mission to Alaska. The work at ETBE is hard. Hours are often long. There is not much time to relax, but the rewards of serving so others can hear from the Lord is worth the sacrifice.

• Dates:

  All Summer Missionaries will be expected to arrive at the Camp by 11:00 AM Tuesday, May 30. Unless arrangements are made with the Executive Director. If your High School or college graduation is after this date, we will make arrangements for a later arrival. Service at ETBE will continue until Saturday evening, July 29. The mission trip to Alaska will depart from Houston Sunday, July30 and return to Houston Tuesday, August 8. Any personal days off, family events, or other time away from these required dates must be approved in advance by the Executive Director.

• Compensation:

  While serving at ETBE each summer missionary will receive $100 per week. Each summer missionary will be provided lodging and receive meals at no cost while camps are in session. The Alaska mission trip is not an earned part of compensation for work while at East Texas Baptist Encampment. Personal time away from responsibilities will be scheduled for summer missionaries at the discretion of the camp management as camp schedules allow.

• Mission Trip to Alaska Expenses:

  Each summer missionary will have the opportunity to participate in the mission trip. The expenses of the trip will be covered by charitable donations and offerings that are received by East Texas Baptist Encampment and through budgeted encampment funds.

• Liability and Responsibilities:

  Each Summer Missionary and their parents will sign a waiver of liability before participating in the Summer Missionary program of East Texas Baptist Encampment. All medical and emergency expenses incurred while in the program will be the responsibility of the participant and their guardians. As with any missionary effort those who chose to participate must be ready to expect and accept responsibility and cost that come with serving Christ.

We hope after prayerful consideration, you will chose to participate in this exciting mission opportunity. You can fill out the application on line. Once completed the camp office will be notified by email.
