Future Seasonal Camp Staff Opportunities | Skylark Camps

We have locations in Allen, McKinney, and Richardson, Texas!

Who We Are

The mission of Lionheart / Skylark is to see the lives of children and families transformed by the Gospel through Christ-centered childcare and summer camps, in partnership with the local church.

• Purpose of Skylark: To grow the family of God in depth, number, and intimacy.
• Vision of Skylark: That every child would have a hero, that families would be rooted in church community, and that our staff would grow in the likeness of Christ.
• Mission of Skylark: To make disciples of Jesus by partnering with local churches and operating excellent, gospel-integrated camps.

Who We're Hiring

We're looking for gospel-minded men and women (18+) to join our Skylark family this summer! You'll serve kids, build deep community, grow through discipleship, and have an unforgettable summer.

Great fit? Someone who is teachable, humble, fun-loving, and ready to make an impact.

Every kid needs a HERO-someone who cheers them on, believes in them, and shows them the love of Jesus. That's exactly what our summer staff get to be at Skylark. Working here means bringing the fun, living out God's love in real time, and helping campers see the true Hero, Jesus, in everything we do. Skylark isn't just a camp; it's a bridge that welcomes families into a loving local church community.

What You'll Do

• Jump in wherever needed to support your Camp Director and the overall ministry of Skylark. Camp life = all hands, all heart.
• Maturity and rock-solid follow-through-when you say you'll do something, you do it.
• A jump-in, pitch-in, "let's make it happen" mindset-camp life waits for no one!
• Enough energy to power a rally and enthusiasm for fast-paced days.
• Relationship-building superpowers and a heart for cultivating a fun, healthy, Christ-centered team culture.
• A Christ-like attitude and example-in the big things, the small things, and everything in between.
• Attendance at Summer Staff Orientation and Training Week-the launchpad for a great summer.
• A commitment of at least 5 weeks of summer service-because the kids need you!
• Reliable transportation so you arrive ready to roll each day.
• Availability Monday-Friday, 8 hours a day sometime between 7:00am-5:30pm (40 hours/week).
