Camp Internships with Pathways College of Bible and Mission

 

Enrollments are now open for 2024

 

In partnership with Pathways College of Bible and Mission, Christian Camping offers a one-year Internship where you will study and work at one of our camps around NZ.

Our vision for CCNZ interns is that spending a year at camp will be inspiring and challenging, introducing you to what a career in camping looks like and your part in the work God is doing through camps in New Zealand.

The New Zealand Diploma in Christian Studies (NZDipCS), is a great course to help you develop in your relationship with Christ. It is an excellent combination of normal Bible College Papers, full-on ministry and great mentoring.
Level: 5; Credits: 120; Method of study: full-time; Duration: 40 weeks over two semesters.  Start date: February

This NZQA qualification consists of 16 hours practical supervised ministry and 16 hours a week of assignments, lectures and supervision meetings, giving a total of approximately 32 hours per week. Supervised ministry enables interns to benefit by learning from experienced leaders in a hands-on practical context within the Christian Camping Organisation.

Each intern completes the following core subjects plus an elective in Christian Camping:
