A Successful Camp Hope requires a strong Ministry Team. Over and over we have found that congregations relying on one or two key adults to make this ministry happen are handicapped. We cannot urge you enough to build Ministry Teams of at least 4 people to share the responsibility of Camp Hope.

Include welcome, dates, outstanding fees and details about your program, especially Monday registration day.
Then organize your camp office with all of your supplies, first aid station, etc. (see the Making Camp Hope Happen checklist for a complete list).
Next, prepare your ENTIRE staff for the staff training.

You should be finishing up in collecting your supplies for Camp Hope including any orders for craft and game items as well as the Camp Hope store.
You should also be placing your t-shirt orders so that you will have time to organize them before your campers arrive. (It’s sooner than you think!)

Make sure that you have also set up adult mentors for your staff members. Look at the post from last November about how to set up a mentoring ministry at your congregation. In order to have spiritual children and youth, we MUST have spiritual adults! This is why having an adult mentor to walk along side of them throughout Camp Hope is vital for Camp Hope Ministrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17333873417882270110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056814928366604712.post-48990435604423196372011-03-22T13:07:00.000-07:002011-03-22T13:07:27.970-07:00Train the Trainer ResourcesIf you attended this year's Train the Trainer, there are a few resources that we need to get to you.

The curriculum this year uses the Spark Bible. It is our hope to encourage every camper and staff person to have their own Bible.
We recommend the Spark Bible which can be purchased in bulk to beeither added to the camper registration fee so the congregation can provide the book, sold directly to the parents at church or given as a gift through a donor Camp Hope Ministrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17333873417882270110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056814928366604712.post-9195533895586771752011-02-04T08:13:00.000-08:002011-02-04T08:13:36.055-08:00Curriculum is ready!CURRICULUMThe 2011 curriculum is ready for you to download HERE !!!
