SALT: Summer Advanced Leadership Training
This is a brand new program, and we are very excited to offer a high level of training in the midst of and in coordination with summer camp. The LIT course will normally be a prerequisite for entrance into this program. We will be accepting only a small group so that we can pour into their lives on an individual basis, set them up in mentoring relationships, and involve them in cabins as junior counselors for a week at a time.
Some of what they will be learning includes:
- Leadership Training - learn to be a leader people will follow and a follower worth leading
- Advanced Counselor Training - learn in a cabin with campers as a Junior Counselor for 1-2 weeks
- Biblical Training - study, understand, and learn to apply one or more book(s) of the Bible
- Theological Training - take an in-depth look at Christian doctrines and how they relate to the world around us
- Specific Skill Training - learn to lead one activity area at camp with confidence and competence
- One-to-One Mentoring - be matched up with a senior staff member for support and encouragement
- Personal Development - discover your gifts, skills, and passions for life and ministry.
