Stages of Development
RISE | A fun balance of summer camp and leadership training | completed grade 8 and 13-14 years old.
RISE is an action packed introduction to ‘how Camp Works.’ Through engaging, practical experiences participants enjoy all the great activities of camp, while also leading some activities and programs. RISE participants come away with a better understanding of who they are and how their uniqueness is an asset to the team.
CREW | Leadership development through teamwork | completed grade 9 and 14-15 years old.
CREW plants God’s truth and establishes a good work ethic in youth that will serve them well as they grow. Youth in CREW learn life skills through activities, work shifts, study, and hands-on experiences. By learning how to work as a team, they develop skills in: teamwork, perseverance, conflict management, problem-solving, and resilience.
ROOTs | Cultivate and build personal character | completed grade 10 and 15-16 years old.
The ROOTs program cultivates and builds personal character. Participants can choose to learn in one of three focuses: Altitude, Amazing Race, or Wild. Participants can expect to build solid leadership foundations through personal/team challenges, and opportunities to practice and serve children/youth. Regardless of the focus chosen, participants will receive the same Scripture-based curriculum and will put into practice what they learn throughout the program.
REACH | Leadership skills in a cross-cultural context | completed grade 11 and 16-17 years old.
REACH enhances leadership skills through a cross-cultural experience. Participants will further increase their understanding of service while working alongside our partner leadership teams in Latin America and Constance Lake First Nation Reserve in Ontario. Participants spend time learning about various ministries – including the ministry of camping – all within the context of the local culture and history.
