SALTers are housed separately from other campers in one of our traditional cabins, in a boys or girls section, and under the direct supervision of a Cabin Leader. At times, opportunities may arise for SALTers to stay in a cabin with other campers to learn from one of our trained Cabin Leaders. During the canoe trip, SALTers and staff will have access to 3-season tents.

s i b i l i t y SALTers will have opportunities to be trained and to instruct and facilitate games and activities, as well as leading campers in spiritual discussion. Additionally, opportunities to experience hospitality and service areas of camp in a constructive manner that is unique for every group. This might include building a step for the waterfront, or props for a program. S p i r i t u a l D e v e l

p

me n t During the course of the program, special guests and staff present examples of leadership from the Bible, examining the character, impact and significance of the events and individuals that God used in the course of the scriptural

narrative. SALTers also experience spiritual disciplines demonstrated from scripture, and are encouraged to journal about

those experiences while building a healthy spiritual lifestyle. R e c r e a t i

n

a n d U n i q u e E x p e r i e n c e s In addition to all of the training, SALTers will have a lot of opportunity for FUN. Swimming in waterfalls and lakes, exploring and participating in elaborate games that happen only at camp, broaden the cultural horizon while emphasizing a need for recreation in community. C

This is often considered one of the most impactful experiences by SALT alumni, where they can actively meet a need. S p e c i a l i z e d L e a d e r s h i p S e s s i
