• Haven’t separated guys and girls yet? Another great time to start! 2. A Book of the Bible. • Try giving kids stuff to read, but make Campaigners such that you can operate if they don’t read. • This is excellent for small groups. • All of the above (Section II) is ONE EXAMPLE of what you could do in a 12-month span. However, there are other models. III. Other Campaigners Considerations … a. NEXT YEAR? Okay, so should you do the same thing every year? ALL OF THIS DEPENDS UPON YOUR KIDS AND YOUR SITUATION!!
Campaigners TOPICS to do every year: • Foundational stuff to walking with God after camp (The Wheel). • Sex and dating. • The big practical issues (temptation, gossip).
PLEASE NOTE: You shouldn’t do the exact same thing from the previous year — just cover the same topic. You might use different illustrations or emphasize different Scripture. b. Small Discipleship Groups • Kids who are around after a year or two will start to need more than Campaigners — give it to them! Try starting small groups with key older kids to take them to deeper levels of their faith. • Go through Acts, Run with Him (Buda’s Book), Closer to Jesus (sequel to My First 30 Quiet Times) or any other Christian book.
