We are all in this together!
Now more than ever, it is easy to lose sight of why you got into Camp/Retreat Ministry. Tighter budgets, less resource availability, and constant staffing issues are the order of the day. Perhaps the joy that came with the ministry has diminished and burnout is seeping in. Having a friend to talk with, an advisor to bounce ideas off of, or finding a partner to help solve the unique problems camp directors and staff must face can help us rekindle the joy and renew our sense of purpose. We are indeed all in this together, and our experience and devotion, with God's grace, will help us not only survive but succeed.
A small group of mentors, coaches, and collaborators is available to you, ready to listen, in a time frame that works for you. With over 100+ collective years of camp/retreat ministry, we are here to walk with you as you find your path to the future. By selecting one of the four areas listed, you will find compassion, expertise, inspiration, and, more importantly, a friend in ministry.
The four options below have been identified as key ways to support leaders. You might find a need for all four, or concentrate for a season on a single aspect. Explore the connecting opportunities below and see what's calling to you in this season.
