Camp, whether it is for kids, teens or families, is a powerful experience.
Many students can attribute the beginning and the continued development of their faith in Christ to a summer Bible camp. These experiences, however, are not easy to pull off. They require months planning, recruiting, and promoting.
A while back, Wesleyan Kids wrote a manual on organizing a camp experience. It’s called Camp Know How. This manual is extremely comprehensive and hopefully very helpful for anyone directing and leading summer camps.

This is great! It reminds me of a project we did in a class at IWU with Keith Drury. The whole class was on camping/trekking, and we wrote a manuel for leading/directing a Christian camp. It was actually pretty good.
I led a kids camp a few years ago… I have to say, it was QUITE an experience…!
Lynne, do you still have that manual? That would be great to share!
I will look for it, I believe I still have it in storage, somewhere!
