BaseCamp Internship at Deer Run Leadership + Discipleship + Ministry

Be a Part of Our Program & Experience Hands-On Ministry

9-Month Program: Begins each August & ends mid-May

Age 18 to 25

Our Mission: To prepare for the next level of leadership with a biblical worldview, unwavering integrity, and relentless perseverance.

Participants will learn to recognize and understand God’s truth while living onsite and receiving hands-on ministry training at Deer Run Camps & Retreats. They will also read leadership books, listen to podcasts, attend conferences, memorize Scripture, and more!

This immersive gap-year experience for young adults focuses on spiritual, vocational, and leadership development with an emphasis on deepened discipleship, character, and community. Participants will learn to live with purpose, imitating Jesus in all aspects of life.

Participants will complete BaseCamp equipped with a strong biblical foundation and practical leadership skills to launch with confidence into the world, boldly living out their faith and sharing the love of Christ in any field or vocation they pursue.

Level up your leadership and be a part of how God is at work through the ministry of Deer Run, a 150-acre camp and retreat center in Middle Tennessee just outside of Nashville.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” — Hebrews 12:1-3
