Where: Ocean City, New Jersey
Cost: $4,500 support-raising goal

Limit: 20 college students

Is OCBP for me?
OCBP is for college students who want to grow with Jesus, experience meaningful Christian community, and become more prepared to serve others. You do not need to consider yourself an experienced leader, attend a CCO campus, or have your future figured out. You simply need a willingness to learn, contribute, and take a faithful next step.

What comes home with you?

• Deeper habits of life with Jesus
• Confidence talking about faith with others
• Experience leading and serving in community
• A biblical vision for work and vocation
• A plan for making an impact on campus
• Relationships and coaching that continue beyond the summer

What will you do?

• Work: Find a summer job and learn to see ordinary work as part of God’s calling.
• Live in community: Share life, meals, prayer, and responsibility with other students.
• Grow with Jesus: Develop sustainable rhythms of Scripture, worship, prayer, and rest.
• Practice mission: Learn hospitality and evangelism through genuine relationships.
• Prepare to lead: Return to campus with coaching and a practical plan for serving others.

What does a typical week look like?
Throughout the days, the student will have local jobs and free time to spend with one another and staff. In the evenings, we will have a large family dinner each night where we get to now one another's story. Then we will have classes or Bible studies Monday through Thursday. Fridays are a cleaning day for the house! Saturdays are completely free and Sundays are for worship and observing the Sabbath well.
