Camp Introduction
Camp should provide a week-long environment that will involve the camper in fun, making new friends, learning to live together in harmony, and an atmosphere of continual spiritual growth.
What’s in it for the campers?
• Spiritual Teaching • Bible Teaching • Christian Fellowship • Wholesome recreation
Campers should be encouraged in the following:
• Personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord • Understanding and experiencing the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and its related ministries • A daily study of the Scriptures • A daily prayer time • Seeking and responding to the will of God • Living a consistent Christian life • Being active and faithful in their local church
BE PREPARED!
Be Prepared Spiritually!
We hope you have come to camp prayed up, ready to add your influences spiritually in every situation, and praying for a genuine burden for kids and their problems. Pray that the Lord will give you the needed wisdom and understanding to help campers in their needs.
Be Prepared Mentally!
Prepare yourself as much as possible to deal specifically with the age group you will be working with. Knowing the characteristics of varying age groups is necessary to keep in mind when counseling.
Be Prepared Physically!
Camping is vigorous and tiring physically. By being more thoroughly acquainted with your specific job, you will find more time to relax at camp. Coming to camp physically fit is a necessity!
The highest Christian conduct is expected at ALL TIMES. The campers will look to you for an example to follow. Campers do not want someone to be like them; they want someone to be like.
Getting acquainted with the daily camp schedule will help you when you are asked by campers time and time again, “What time do we…?”
