2025 Leaders in Training REFERENCE

Thank you for taking the time to serve as a reference! Your feedback is vital to us as we work to put together the best ministry team possible for our summer programs, including our Leaders in Training camper program!

Our leaders in training program is an opportunity for those currently in grades 9-11 to grow in their leadership skills and serve alongside the summer staff team. Participants will spend two programmatic weeks intentionally focusing on leadership styles, theology, outdoor education, service-learning, conversation and activity facilitation, and more.

Please give thoughtful and honest answers to the questions below. This program is a great opportunity to grow and develop leadership skills, but we know it is not for everyone. We seek Leaders in Training Campers who are able to do the hard work of living in community, serving others, and who are willing to learn. If you are not sure the applicant can do this, please tell us that. But also tell us the amazing things you know about them! Our program and camp community requires people with various skills, personalities, energy levels, and beliefs. We pray for this community even before it is a community, and trust that God will guide our decisions.

Thank you for your time and honesty.
