As high school staff, you have an awesome opportunity to serve the Lord during your summer break. At Horton Haven you will have a chance to grow and be encouraged, as well as to encourage others. The following is a list of some of the possible areas for service this summer:

 

  • Jr. Cabin Leader
  • Kitchen Aid
  • Pioneer Camp Leader
  • Maintenance Staff

        Attendance at S.I.T. week at Horton Haven is required of all teenage summer staff, and recommended for all other staff as well. During the week, campers build an understanding of staff responsibilities and procedures as topics are covered in seminar and practical sessions. These topics include:

 

  • Characteristics of Children
  • How to Lead a Child To Christ
  • How to Prepare Devotions
  • Counseling Tips
  • Health & Safety Issues

        At least two hours per day are spent doing actual work on the camp. There are activity training classes each day to prepare for teaching canoeing, archery, air rifles, campcraft, etc.. Group activities designed to build trust and group dynamics are a major part of the program. Daily personal devotions, as well as, discipleship times with CORE staff members are cultivated. Morning and evening Bible studies and singing times are provided. Also, policies of the camp are presented. Upon completion, S.I.T. campers are expected to make commitments of specific weeks to work at camp, with a minimum of one week of service. S.I.T. staff are not allowed to be at camp for more than three weeks in a row.  Attending SIT does not guarantee that they will work at camp. Attitude is a vital part of the selection process.
