Horn Creek offers an 11-month internship program to college-age students (ages 19-25). The internship runs from August 11 through August 15 with November 25 through December 26 off.

We are looking for men and women who come to us with a history of Christian service, with a desire to grow in their faith, and with leadership potential.

While growing up in Colorado, Leslie Fox spent summers at Kanakuk Kamps in Branson MO where she developed a heart for camp and expereinced their impaciting value. She attended Westmont College and graduated from Cal State Northridge in 1995. Marrying Jeff that summer was the best thing she ever did...its been an adventure for the past 12 years. Besides helping with the youth ministry, K-Life of St. Louis for 7 years, she took on the full time job of being mom to Emily (8) and Sydney (6). Living at camp and experiencing ministry together as a family in the mountains of Colorado is an absolute dream come true for her.

Matthew Bachali In 1988, I became a Christian while a freshman at Northwest Missouri State University. With this life transformation, I became involved with Campus Crusade for Christ where I later met my wife, Jill, on a summer mission trip. After our wedding, we pursued vocational ministry options and started seminary at Phoenix Seminary in Arizona. I have a BA in Mathematics & Education from the University of Northern Colorado and a MDiv from Phoenix Seminary. Jill and I have been married for 15 years and have four children: Eli(11), Emma(10), Henry(8) & Noah(6). While on staff at Open Door Fellowship Church in Phoenix, Arizona, I worked as a youth intern for two years, youth pastor for five years, and adult pastor for two years. In 1998, I was asked to direct Mountain Meadow Ranch Bible Camp outside Payson, Arizona. Through that experience, I was being prepared for my current role at Horn Creek Conference Grounds. Today, I am the Director of Operations at Horn Creek. My role allows me to manage the field staff and many of the summer staff as well as develop the programs for youth camps and family camps. I am also involved in developing an Urban Youth Camp on the Ranch property of Horn Creek. My wife and I are active in church through supporting the AWANA program, children’s church, and occasional teaching/preaching opportunities. I have a passion to see young people grow in their understanding of what it means to live a “set apart†life in Christ.
