At Summer Impact you will have the opportunity to learn new skills and use them as you serve the community. Skills taught will vary depening on what program you are apart of.
Affordable Opportunity
JumpIn NW is launching this exciting new program with the help of generous donors. This is a pilot program that would normally cost $1500 per person to cover housing, meals, outings, teachers and programs. Because of generous donations toward this new program we are able to reduce the price to just $500 per student for 2025.
Spend your summer making a real impact in state-side communities, all without the need to fundraise large sums. Don't miss this unique opportunity to be part of something fresh and transformational.
Personal Ministry
Personal Ministry
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:1
A true missionary must first be a true disciple. It starts with knowing Jesus, following Him wholeheartedly, and letting him change your life. Then you’re ready to help others do the same.
Discipleship is a calling to a higher purpose and a higher standard. We ask Summer Impact participants to dig deep and push themselves. Part of becoming a disciple is becoming someone who puts Jesus first, is learning to care about others, is growing in righteousness and self-control and the has ability to stay the course.
This summer, let’s grow together through teaching, prayer, worship, and real conversations—so your faith isn’t just a moment, but a lifelong journey that impacts others.
Dicipleship study sessions will take place in a classroom setting with men and women from all walks of life. Pastors, teachers, community workers, missionaries, worship leaders and more. We believe the Bible is the inherent word of God and we must study it, understand it and live it in order to be truly effective missionaries. After the study sessions we will have extended time of open discussion.
JumpIn operates a prayer house with daily worship and prayer in which Summer Impact will regularly participate.
The mission of the faith was not meant to be done alone. Come and join peers in the pursuit of God and in serving people with the love of God.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Outreach
Outreach
Throughout the ministry of Jesus when He ministered outside of the circle of His disciples, He first took care of the needs of the people. Without needs being met most people aren’t willing to listen.
Each week we will have an opportunities for outreach. You will be given skills and teaching to prepare for service and ministry that make a real imapct to the
people in need
Join a Larger Team:
We will team up with local charities, businesses, and churches in helping those around us. The outreach projects we participate in may include, feeding the hungry, repairing and painting elderly or single-mom homes, landscaping, preparing food, helping in with underpriveledged families in the area or in a retirement. The opportunities are many.
Be a Mentor:
Be a leader for kids (ages 6–14) at two 3-day summer camps hosted by jump-in. These camps are filled with worship, small groups, games, swimming, and team-building adventures. You’ll help plant seeds of faith in the hearts of the local kids while giving them a memorable summer experience. Even though it can be challenging working with young kids we are confident you are going to have a great time serving as you play with the campers in summer adventures and impacting the generation after you.

Give Back Big:
Get your hands dirty and your heart full by helping in renovation and maintenance projects at Canby Grove, a working ministry center. It’s all about showing Christ’s love in action giving to the place you stay, making it better than you when you first came. We hope this will become a life long practice no matter where you are.
Work Hard then Play Hard:
There will be multiple opportunities throughout the 8 weeks to take advantage of serving in one of the most beautiful states in America. Oregon has mountains and beaches and forests all within 20min to 1.5 hours from Canby Grove. Several outings will be offered to those who would like to do some sightseeing, hiking or beachcombing.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we
do not give up.
