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.

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