Experience the Magic Firsthand: Our Mission Hours & Challenge Course Crew
At Austin Sunshine Camps, every single member of our full-time team stays directly connected to the heart of what we do. Through our Mission Hours program, all full-time employees dedicate around 50 hours a year to getting out from behind their desks and directly engaging with our campers and culture.
This means getting certified and joining our Challenge Course Crew (CCC). You’ll step up, get trained, and facilitate high-flying moments on our ropes course—cheering on campers as they build confidence, bravery, and trust. It’s hard work and takes real physical energy, but belaying and supporting our youth on the course is one of the most rewarding, fun, and memorable ways we live out our mission together.

Quotes from our team
"I choose to work with Austin Sunshine Camps because I enjoy creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories for campers. Being part of ASC has allowed me to grow as a leader while building genuine connections with both campers and staff. I love being part of an environment where everyone is encouraged to learn, have fun, and feel supported. And also ASC is my home away from home."
- Camp Counselor"The reason I choose to work at Austin Sunshine Camps is simple: the people and the purpose. We are a close team that genuinely cares about each other and the kids we serve. I’ve always worked in nonprofits, but ASC is the first place that truly fills my cup."
- Full-time Staff Member"I've experienced firsthand how one caring adult can change the course of a child's life, and it's why this work means so much to me. Some campers leave with new friendships. Some leave with new skills. But my greatest hope is that every camper leaves with a new story about themselves. One where they know, without question, you belong here, you matter here, and you are enough."
- Camp Wellness Coordinator"I love ASC because I've met so many amazing people and created unforgettable memories while doing so. The culture of ASC is something I've never experienced before, and I'm beyond proud to be a part of it."
