Today the NSM team discovered a rare opportunity. Over my career in Student Ministry there have been three things that are invaluable and very, very hard to find.
1. Students who care more about their future than their today.
2. Student Ministry staff that aspire to be in Student Ministry.
3. A quality, reasonably priced, available camp/retreat center.
Out of the blue one of our small group leaders suggested a retreat center close to where he works. AJ called to check on some options for another event and just by happenstance asked about rates and availability for the summer. Low and behold....they had some options we could work with.
So here is your opportunity. If you're in student ministry and are looking for a great option for summer camp in the Southeast, this may be your answer. We're planning to put together a small group driven camp experience. Here's why: our ministry is small groups based and almost every quality pre-fab camp takes your group and integrates them with every other church attending the camp that week. Our camp will allow you to have a week of camp that provides high quality large group worship and teaching while allowing your small groups stay intact at camp, giving those groups the equivalent of a two month growth curve.
As we begin the decision making and planning process there are several hoops we'll need to jump through to ensure this camp is all that we hope it to be. If you're curious about the options of attending this camp please email me and let me know. There is a critical number we need to reach to ensure our full usage of the retreat center, but there is also a limit on how many people we can accommodate. If you're seriously interested now is the time. At this point it doesn't matter if you have a group of two or two hundred. I believe this could be the beginning of something very powerful and life-changing for hundreds of students. Please pray with us as we begin this journey and also pray about being a part of this great opportunity.
