Two More Weeks to Apply, 2027 Interns!

Sawyerville interns take on real, meaningful work; they build strong relationships; and they play an integral role in the summer's success. Working as a Sawyerville intern is an opportunity to gain impressive work experience, to enrich the lives of campers and students, and to grow closer to God while serving others.


Intern applications for Summer 2027 are now open! Young adults who will be at least one year out of high school (and 19 years old and older) by June 1, 2027 are encouraged to apply.


Our 2027 Summer Camp theme will be Make a Joyful Noise, echoing Psalm 100: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing."

Mentoring Mural and Health-o-Ween

Sawyerville Mentoring pairs and fellows from Project Horseshoe Farm Greensboro celebrated ‘Health-o-ween’ by learning about the health benefits of art while painting a mural at GES! The mural, inspired by Sawyerville’s 5K, reads “Love Your Neighbor”—a great reminder for us all year long!

Huge thank you to Project Horseshoe Farm Greensboro, First Methodist Church, and Greensboro Elementary for this collaboration! Thank you, Angel, for the wonderful photos!
