ICYA is looking for a relational, organized, and Christ-centered individual to serve as our Gem Lake Camp Liaison. This unique, full-time role supports two of ICYA’s key ministries — Gem Lake Wilderness Camp and The Bridge Drop-In — by helping youth get to camp safely and building ongoing mentoring relationships throughout the year. 

The primary focus of this role is transporting campers and supplies to and from Gem Lake Wilderness Camp, ensuring safe travel and a smooth camp experience. The Camp Liaison also connects with youth through ICYA's Drop-In programs, fostering positive relationships and spiritual mentorship in the city.

  • Complete and organize camper registration for winter and summer camp sessions. 

  • Prepare supplies and lunches for camp trips as needed. 

  • Build meaningful mentoring relationships with youth during Drop-In evenings (three nights per week). 

  • Support youth engagement through activities like crafts, games, Bible lessons, and events. 

  • Collaborate with ministry teams and assist with community programs when available. 

Qualifications: 

  • A personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a commitment to ICYA’s mission. 

  • A Class 4 driver’s license (or willingness to obtain). 

  • Relevant experience or education in working with youth. 

  • Strong organization, communication, and teamwork skills. 

  • Basic vehicle maintenance knowledge and a safe driving record. 

  • Heart for youth, reconciliation, and relational ministry. 

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the road, thrives in a relational environment, and desires to share the love of Christ through everyday interactions.
