On this episode we'll talk about the key to fostering the kind of faithfulness in summer staff that not only affects their lives in lasting ways, but also brings the deepest impact to your summer mission and ministry. One of the options for this kind of equipping that we'll talk some about in our conversation is Holy Ground, a guide and devotional designed specifically for summer camp staff, by summer camp staff.

People Skills & Peer Ministry at Camp with Special Guest Lyle Griner 41:57

8 weeks geleden41:57

41:57

The most impactful ministry just might happen in the under-programmed times, the times sitting by the well (or the campfire) hearing someone's story. When we give our staff members, and even campers themselves, the "how" - meaning the skills and the practice in listening, welcoming, and connecting-building - we give them a gift they can and will take into the rest of life. On this episode, we chat with Lyle Griner, from Peer Ministry Leadership, who has been equipping people, especially youth and young adults, with vital relational skills as a key, maybe THE key, ministry practice in our world today. Lyle shares where Peer Ministry Leadership came from, and how the skills he and others have spent decades using to empower ministry in churches and communities, comes to camp through staff and camper training and programming (or sometime de-programming) opportunities. Learn more about Peer Ministry Leadership and find your way to a staff training experience at peerministry.org . You can also read Lyle's book, Youth Are Either Leading or Leaving , to explore how we can ensure youth know they are deeply needed in the church and the world today.

Character at Camp 41:41

Self-confidence. Leadership. Resilience. Faith in daily life. These are all character traits we measure. There is real data that says camp in exceptional at building character through the highly experiential, highly relational programs you offer. And that's a good thing, because the research says parents and caregivers care as much about the character being built in their kids as anything else. On this episode we'll break down what character is from a lens of faith and why it matters at camp. Plus , we'll talk bit about what the American Camp Association and camps like yours are doing to bring another level of intentionality and energy to building character at camp (and even how you could receive grant funding for your best character-building idea or program). Stay connected with the Character at Camp Initiative at watch out for the opening of subgrant applications at aca.org .

Why Camp? From the Perspective of Moms, Church Leaders, and Camp Enthusiasts 38:18

12 weeks geleden38:18

38:18

Answer : because kids need a safe place to __________________. Question : Why Camp? This question matters to you, camp or church leaders, because it's a question the parents in your world are asking. They have to, for one reason or another. It's because they have a lot of options, and they are assessing the quality of any experience they sign their kids up for. It's because they are committed to making sure the time and dollar investments they make are worth it, and lead to things they want the most for their kids. It's because they want to trust you with their very hearts, and they need to know they can. On this episode, we'll chat with Anna and Anna, two women who wear m - as moms, church leaders, and camp enthusiasts. We asked them to "put on" each of those hats for a few minutes, sharing experiences and perspectives that resonate with families like the ones you serve.

Leaders who thrive learn from other leaders. Recently, Jake and Jared got to participate in and lead workshops at annual camp conferences for Lutheran Outdoor Ministries and the Campfire Collective (PCCCA, OMA-UCC, OMI, + more). They had the chance to sit down with 4 camp leaders from different locales and traditions to gather insightful perspectives and stories on 3 key questions. We asked these leaders to: Share something unique or something you love about your camp and/or your role Share what might be different about camp ministry in 10 years Share about a time when you learned something new, applied it to your ministry successfully, and the impact it made These leader perspectives and stories match many of yours, and we'd love to hear your answers in the comments on our website, Facebook, or send us a message.

Leading a Christian Camp After Election Day 42:02

22 weeks geleden42:02

42:02

Sometimes we love to hang out in our camp bubble, don't we? Sometimes even so far as to, at least in part, shut out the outside world. It makes sense, because there's something special about camp being set apart. And yet, we're part of an ecosystem, a culture, a community. Last week, election day in the United States brought on emotions and actions and reactions across the spectrum. Many have been wrestling with where we stand, what we stand on, and who we stand for. On this episode, we explore some scripture-based truths around God's call on our lives and ministries, and explore how we lead a Christian camp after an election season like this one.

"The most effective way to get campers this summer is to get last summer's campers to come back." On this episode, Travis Allison from Go Camp Pro joins us to talk through what's actually effective in recruiting and retaining campers and their families. Built from a sense of frustration that so many camp leaders spend so much time, energy, and money on things that don't work, the Camper Recruitment & Retention Playbook by Travis Allison and Joanna Warren Smith lays out why, and most importantly how, to get campers and keep them coming back through clear, effective communication and intentionally improved experience. Plus, we've got a Quick Qamp Question answered from Jake and Travis' decades of camp experience on the strategic focus of staff versus camper experience, and an eye-opening Stat of the Week on professional leadership turnover from the Foundation on Jewish Camps.

A meaningful camp experience can be a powerful catalyst for family faith formation . That truth is at the heart of the Rhythms of Faith Project, the Lilly Endowment, Inc. funded project that Wheaton College/HoneyRock and Sacred Playgrounds are partnering on. We've spent the last year taking in current and past writing, qualitative and quantitative data, and powerful stories about the impacts of camping ministries on families and the faith formation rooted in home and church life. On this episode, co-directors Dr. Rob Ribbe and Dr. Jake Sorenson break down 6 promising strategies uncovered in this first phase of the project and share some stories and ways any camp can apply what's been learned so far. We'll also share a deep #QuickQampQuestion about the risks of camp and if they are worth it. Plus, be sure to download our #StatOfTheWeek sharing parent perspectives on if camp should be equipping and influencing faith at home. During the episode, we share one ready-to-take action step is to use the promising strategies infographic as a tool to consider what you may be able to apply in your ministry right now and in the months ahead. Download the infographic kit and read more about the promising strategies here . The Rhythms of Faith Project Phase 2 Sub-grant Request for Proposals is live ! Proposals are due October 15, 2024 so be sure to get your camp's submitted to be one of the 9 camps we'll equip and follow for the next 3 years.

3 Major Factors That Affect Camper Outcomes 49:33

30 weeks geleden49:33

49:33

Ministry is about impact . It's what we hope for, plan for, program for, recruit for, market for, evaluate for, and pray for. It's maybe the one thing that aligns the entire outdoor ministry industry. We may not even define impact in the same way (fyi, we don't!). Yet, we're aligned in that our deepest foundational mission is to impact lives for the sake of the Gospel. So how do we measure impact? We assess outcomes, and that's what we're breaking down on this episode. We've taken multiple data sets and layered the learnings to identify 3 major factors that affect camper outcomes, in particular, outcomes that last beyond camp. Plus we've got a quick qamp question about camp becoming church, and be sure to download this episode's #StatOfTheWeek !
