Summer Teams
WHO?
Teen Missions Summer Teams are for all teens and young adults from 13-19 years old. Leaders without any prior Teen Missions experience must be at least 20 years old (Former Team Members must be 18 years old.) Teams are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
WHY?
The primary purpose of our summer teams program is to build teens spiritually, physically, mentally and socially. We endeavor to instill in young people a missionary vision and to equip them to live victoriously for the Lord.
WHERE?
The training takes place on our base, situated in Cooroibah, QLD. Teams will then travel to their projects overseas, then return to our base for Debrief at the end of their summer before going home.
WHEN?
The dates of involvement for our next program are 13 December 2026 - 15 January 2027. All team members must arrive on time and stay until the end of the program.
Boot Camp
Boot Camp is a time of training to prepare the teams for their respective mission fields. Team members and leaders participate in a 7 day immersive training period, a program designed to build team unity and provide practical, physical, and spiritual training for their specific projects. We tailor each Boot Camp training period according to the skills needed for each team. The 7 days of primitive training will be at the Teen Missions Australia base in Cooroibah, QLD.
Debrief
To cap off the summer experience, teams will return to the Teen Missions Australia base for a shared debrief time with other teams. The Debrief experience is essential to our summer team program for team members and leaders. During Debrief, the teams engage in different classes, allowing them to reflect on their summer and become equipped to take what they have learned on the mission field back home to their churches, youth groups, schools, and communities. In addition, we focus on fellowship, sharing summer experiences amongst the teams, and preparing them spiritually, mentally and emotionally for their return home.
