Graduate Apprenticeship Overview
The Graduate Apprenticeship program is a powerful discipleship experience that will develop you personally and professionally. Graduate Apprentice (GA) positions are designed specifically for people who have a Bachelors degree and desire hands-on training for leadership in camp or youth related ministries. These paid apprenticeship roles provide training and experience in outdoor ministry and are a great opportunity to refine skills, clarify calling, and be equipped for leadership personally and professionally. This experience will prepare you for graduate studies or open the door for roles in the field. The skills and lessons are learned by doing camp ministry. You will lead programs under the supervision of HoneyRock’s professional staff and be developed personally along the way. Specifically designed training sessions and educational opportunities led by HoneyRock’s faculty and staff will focus on different aspects of camp ministry and on the heart and character of a leader. At the end of the year GA’s will be well-equipped to minister in a variety of camp or adventure based youth ministries.
