Summer is here which means it is time for summer camp! Action sports ministries all over the world are hosting camps this summer teaching groms new tricks, diving into Gods word and building relationships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Youth Specialties has 4 Ways To Take Your Camp To The Next Level which serve as a great reminder as we launch into this summer camp season:
Think with a “there” to “here” mindset. What can we do while we’re there (at camp/mission trip/etc) to bring the experience back here (home)?
Create Corporate Traditions. Be intentional about creating traditions with students that they’ll want to carry into the event each summer.
Create Open Spaces in the Schedule. This isn’t about more “free” time but about “breathe” time.
Bring Parents on the Journey. You don’t necessarily have to bring all the parents with you but you do need to find ways to make sure parents know what is going on.
