Youth Servant Leadership

 
“Instead, whoever wants to become great among
you must be your servant…”
Matthew 20:26
Camp Selah is excited to offer a program tied closely with our currently existing summer camp program: Youth Servant Leadership. The YSL program offers participants experience in all different areas of camp ministry. The purpose of the YSL program is to, each year, further develop servant’s hearts in several young men and women and equip them with various skills that will be specifically useful in filling leadership roles at camp. Please carefully read through the following information on your own, then also with your parents. We consider participating in this program a serious commitment—a short-term, summer missions trip! If you sense that is something to which you would like to commit, and in which God is leading you to participate, please let us know as soon as possible. As a YSL, you will have the opportunity to grow in your knowledge of different life skills as you assist in maintenance projects and counseling, have involvement in food service, dishwashing, program assistance, and photo & video capture. You will also grow in your knowledge of different biblical principles specifically geared to the program through in-depth Bible study, prayer, journaling and small group discussion.

When a completed application is returned to Camp Selah, it will be reviewed by camp leadership and considered for acceptance. Three references are required. Those references will be contacted by phone for a short interview before a decision will be made. Applicants will receive notification on or before April 1st. Spaces are limited! Do not go forward in acquiring financial/prayer support unless you have been accepted into the YSL program.

 
*NEW FOR 2010* Financial Support: Because Camp Selah views the YSL program as a short-term missionary opportunity for its participants, if accepted into the program you will be expected to raise financial support in the amount of $300.00. (This amount covers some of your summer expenses, like food and housing, and also the cost for senior high week.) Our suggested division of the support you raise is $200.00 from your church and non-family members, and $100.00 from family members. The more people you involve in your support, the better!

Prayer Support: Even more important than finances is prayer support! Using the sheet provided, contact at least five different couples or individuals and ask for their commitment to pray for you throughout the summer camping season. You will continue to stay in contact with them during and after the summer to inform them of prayer requests, praises and how you grew during your time as a YSL.
