Staff Training
Your mission week begins with a 2 1/2 -day staff
training event prior to the start of the work camp. Staffers arrive on Thursday
afternoon at a location near the retreat center. The staff spends Thursday night
through Saturday morning preparing for their mission week. Some of the training
components include: learning more about junior high students and what their
world is like, a prayer tour with the families we will be serving, a hands-on
morning at the work site learning some basics about leading a worksite and
practicing some construction techniques, and more. Of course, a big part of the
staff training is meeting your fellow staffers and building new relationships!
On Saturday afternoon, the staff moves
into camp and begins preparing for the
arrival of the campers on Sunday.
Staffers are required to attend the
training event.
Relationships
To further the building of those relationships beyond camp, JP organizes a staff beach retreat the first weekend in January. That weekend is designed to provide a setting where relationships can be renewed and strengthened.
