Staff Training
Summer Staff Training (Jun. 22-29)
This is a vital time of preparation for the summer, where we can make both our hearts and minds more ready for a summer of service. Here is where we will begin to develop the unity of our staff team and a vision for what God will do through us. There will be instructional sessions providing training in areas such as first aid, water safety, abuse response, counseling, activity skills, and emergency procedures.
If you are coming for three or more weeks during the summer you must attend Staff Training. Also, Staff Training is open to anyone who will be serving at any time in the summer. Leaders-in-Training are also required to attend as much as possible, depending on their grad and exam schedule.
You will enjoy Q-Town each evening as our Quixotic music team leads us in worship, and you will be challenged and encouraged by a speaker who knows what you need to be ready for camp ministry.
Featured Speaker: Randy Carter
Randy has a passion for student ministry and a wealth of experience and knowledge about the world of today's youth. He's been involved in youth ministry since 1979, including eleven years as a youth pastor with the Alliance church in western Canada. Since 1994 Randy has been an itinerant youth speaker and ministry consultant with Straight Talk Ministries. Randy's unique blend of humour and direct approach to truth allows him to captivate the listener and communicate truth in a relevant and meaningful way. Randy has spoken throughout Canada, into the United States and even as far as Malaysia. Randy lives in Calgary with his wife and two daughters, and he has enjoyed speaking at Qwanoes for many years. Look forward to a memorable week of insight, humour, encouragement, and spiritual foundations for the summer.
Special Staff Development Day:
This year we are excited to provide a special full day between our third and fourth camps (July 21, 2012) for the purpose of building our staff team. This extension of Staff Training will provide a special opportunity for our staff team to re-group, re-charge, and to share and celebrate what God has started in our summer. It will also provide a chance for extra rest, lots of fun, and simply hanging out together. It is expected that all summer-long staff plus those serving Juniors #1 through Junior High #3 will attend.
