Team Leader Description
Overview Camp Courage is founded upon the principle of relationship. Jesus developed His relationship with each disciple to change their culture, their region and the world for all time. We want kids who attend Camp Courage to know they are valued and loved and that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the most courageous decision they will make. These goals will happen primarily through time spent with their Cabin Leader. Although a Cabin Leader’s primary focus is spending time with kids he/she will have other responsibilities to perform. Cabin Life Learning together, living together, working together, listening, praying and having fun together are the building blocks for a successful camper and cabin leader experience. Cabin Leaders are responsible for overseeing the spiritual growth, physical health and safety of a group of 6-8 students during their camp experience. Cabin Leaders are also responsible for helping with the overall program objectives. Physical and emotional safety should be the top priority for all volunteer cabin leaders. When a child feels safe they are more likely to respond to spiritual encouragement and direction.
