Summer Camp Curriculum and Coaching Now Available From Project Transformation, BeADisciple.com
A proven, life-changing curriculum for youth summer camps is now available to local congregations through a collaboration between Project Transformation National and BeADisciple.com.
The adaptable camp curriculum has been developed and used by Project Transformation, a 26-year-old organization that equips youth and young adults to serve their communities. It emphasizes diversity, literacy, social/emotional skills, and leadership and spiritual development.
“Project Transformation has seen how building relationships through summer camp has changed the lives of the children and youth of our communities,” says Dr. Julie Wilke, vice president of programs. “We’re excited to share our expertise in connecting children, college aged young adults, and churches to build their own programs through the use of the Project Transformation curriculum.”
Participating congregations will receive access to an online course through BeADisciple.com, a program of the Institute for Discipleship. This includes a curriculum overview outlining the materials; eight weekly overviews describing the themes and lessons; 30 lessons from each of the program components including literacy, STEAM, spiritual formation, and arts enrichment; and a supply list of needed materials.
Crucially, participation also includes individual consultations for training and design as well as monthly one-hour consultations for individually tailoring the curriculum to the church’s context. An additional consultation following completion of the camp will evaluate the program.
Wilke, who will be leading the consultations, says this expert guidance can let participants be assured they will have the knowledge and gained wisdom of Project Transformation’s experience to successfully develop a program attractive to both children and their parents.
“We are confident that a congregation will have all the tools necessary for success without having to invent its own curriculum,” Wilke adds.
