What Is S.W.I.M. Team?
S.W.I.M. (Students Working in Ministry) is a two-week discipleship and service program for high school students at Portage Lake Bible Camp. Participants grow as servant-hearted leaders while serving alongside staff in areas such as the kitchen, cleaning crew, grounds crew, specialty roles, and as assistant counselors during kids’ camp weeks. S.W.I.M. Team offers hands-on ministry experience, leadership development, and a glimpse into what serving on summer staff is like; all while being a fun and meaningful way to serve at camp.
Who is it for?
Students entering grades 10, 11, 12, and graduated high school seniors who love camp, love Jesus, and are passionate to learn about leading in a service capacity this summer!
