 Our Summer Intern Program 

We are looking for a team of 6 males and females to work at our retreat center in Sunset, SC over the summer.  Besides some daily maintenance chores, most of the other work will be running our 5 Summer Family Camps.

June 1 - August 5

You'll be asked to be here during this entire time.  The first couple of weeks will be planning the camps and preparing the retreat center.  The last week will be a wrap-up, evaluation session and some clean-up.

Young Adults, Age 17-24

We are looking for a team of young adults who desire to grow in their faith with others, love the outdoors, and embrace our apostolate of hospitality.   
We need young adults who have a strong faith life.  We need individuals of all varying  temperaments who make up our team.  We need both those who love standing in front of the crowd to those who are happiest setting up the microphones and passing out the songbooks.  We need people with "people" skills, computer skills.  Those who like to work with their hands and get dirty.  And those who are gifted listeners.  

Here's What We Offer You

  • To live in a supportive and loving community
  • To grow in knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith
  • To evangelize and share the gospel to others through our summer family camp
  • To spend your summer in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.  We have the largest concentration of waterfalls here.  We also have many trails, lakes, etc.  
  • To develop your gifts and interests.
  • A small Stipend at the end of summer ($800+)
