A Ministry of Adventure!

IS GOD CALLING YOU TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING SPECIAL THIS SUMMER?

If you are seeking a summer job where you can really make a difference in someone’s life and have a heart for sharing God’s with underprivileged children, then you have come to the right place!

Camp Kearney is a ministry of the South Side Mission of Peoria, Illinois that has offered a Christian-based camping program to economically disadvantaged children of Peoria and central Illinois. Only 17 miles from the city of Peoria, Camp Kearney is located on 155 picturesque acres, filled with the beauty of God’s creation. 

Each summer, Camp Kearney hires young people ages 18 years and older who will play an essential part in sharing the love of Christ with the children during our 8-week summer program.

All meals and lodging are provided for summer staff throughout the length of the summer program. Staff is also given an opportunity to earn an end of the summer bonus through our Missionary Support Program.
