As a camp who is accredited by the Association des camps du Quebec, we are required to provide 60 hours of training to all of our staff members. For this reason, our staff training week from June 25th to July 1st 2023 is mandatory to attend.
We’re constantly updating the way we do staff training to meet the needs of staff and campers. Our staff training is our way of equipping and preparing our staff for the ministry work that lies ahead of them. Our training includes at-home readings, group sessions at camp, and service components in various areas of camp. During these times, we will be going deeper into what it means to be a vessel for Christ and what that looks like in the camp context. We will have sessions that focus on how to share the Gospel with children, how to be intentional when interacting with campers and peers, and how to lead small groups. Other topics will include anxiety, child abuse prevention, and practical skills for being a FL staff member. Although all staff are welcome to join our staff training, this will be required for some positions, and staff members at the discretion of the Director.
