” Before I started coming here, I always dreaded summertime. But then I started coming to
this camp, and then I finally had fun stuff to do… I finally love summer.”

OCCC Internship Program – ages 14 – 16
OCCC internships are offered to teens who would benefit from a structured program where they can participate in learning valuable leadership skills while contributing their time to the broader community.
Teens participate as junior counselors or culinary interns, gaining valuable work experience and learning to share their interests with the younger children. Teens learn to be good role models, showing the younger campers how to make good decisions in behavior and to care for each other and take responsibility for their actions. Minimum commitment is 2 weeks. Interns receive a certificate of service that can be submitted to their schools for community service credit.

“ I am proud that I get to work for a camp that is not only working to better the community by addressing larger scale social problems such as poverty and food insecurity, but also provides an environment that allows me to help my campers create small-scale changes that make big differences on their lives. It truly is a magical place. ”
– Grace, C0-Program Director
