Summer Staff will report directly to the Summer Staff Directors.

We also need summer staff who can take great photos, film, and produce promotional videos. Staff who serve on our media team will typically rotate regular staff duties with media work.

Christian Camps at Brookhaven are more than just Texas summer camps. During the summer, Brookhaven hosts a full summer of fun-filled, life-changing experiences for youth groups and campers of all ages. More than 5,000 children, youth and families each summer attend camp or retreat sessions at our Christian Youth Camp and retreat center in the Tyler, Texas area, just two hours east of Dallas, TX. During the spring, fall, and winter seasons, Brookhaven offers the same experiences as our Christian summer camps, but through men's retreats, ladies' retreats, conferences, outdoor education programs, family reunions, day camps, and other events. These programs offer ample opportunities to get away to the peaceful surroundings of a premier Texas Christian camp in the Piney Woods of East Texas. Christian camps at Brookhaven Retreat are powerful ministries that have sought to glorify God through Christian camping since 1974 when James Robison opened a Christian camp on this site. Come work at a Christian camp near Tyler, TX, just 1.5 hours east of Dallas, Texas.
