About
4D stands for "developing disciples and doing dishes." Dishes? That's right! We spend time doing dishes and other kinds of practical service around Michindoh. We want to disciple Christian teens through relational ministry, time in God’s word, and opportunities for service in an environment of fun and friendship. Teens will have opportunities to serve in many different areas of camp including dining hall and housekeeping. The daily schedule changes to meet the schedule needs of camp, but will include time for daily Bible study and working the dinner shift and may include cabin cleaning, fun activities, and even free time.
​
Junior hourly staff are also welcome to apply to be a part of the 4D Team.
*Teens can be hired for one or two (non-consecutive) sessions.
Program Goals
Provide minors a summer ministry opportunity that will introduce them to employment in a healthy, safe, and Christian environment.
​
Provide a discipleship opportunity under mature and caring Christian leaders who will foster a mentoring relationship, demonstrate a faithful Christian walk, and teach a meaningful and conservative biblical curriculum.
​
Provide a foundation for continued opportunities for discipleship, training and growth, Christian service, and employment into adulthood.
​
Create opportunities to have memorable and fun experiences, and build lifelong friendships.
