Cabin Leading at
Silver Spur
My purpose
is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may
have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the
mystery of God, namely, Christ… Colossians 2:2 NIV

 What
is a Cabin Leader?
The Cabin Leader is
the chaperone of the church group he or she brings (a man for the guys, a woman
for the gals). This person eats, sleeps, plays, and hangs out full time with the
kids all week or weekend, and is responsible for watching over them physically
and spiritually.
Who
is a Cabin Leader?
The Cabin Leader is a
person who should be mature spiritually and emotionally. The Cabin Leader is one
who is to invest in others, not the one coming to camp to be ministered to.
There is a difference between what a Cabin Leader should “do” and what a Cabin
Leader should “be.” Before noting the “do’s” of leading, reflect upon what a
Cabin Leader should “be” in Christian character. Below are traits that will
enhance your ministry to kids.
A Cabin Leader should be:
-
Spiritual leader
-
Encourager
-
Yourself – Be Real!
-
Listener
-
Proactive
-
Vulnerable
-
Friendly
-
Understanding
-
Observant

 Why
Cabin Leaders and not Staff Counselors?
We believe that a
camper's experience shouldn't end at camp. By utilizing Cabin Leaders from the
student's own church or community, the connections developed at camp can
prayerfully be a springboard to a continued relationship of mentoring and growth
back home. Having an adult who loves and cares for them in their every day
experience is a major influence in the life of any young person.

 What
kind of a commitment is needed?
Cabin Leaders are asked to commit to the scheduled length of camp
(usually one week or a weekend). Your job as a Cabin Leader is to make sure all
your kids are accounted for at all events and to do your best to enhance the
spiritual experience of each camper. While the schedule might seem
long, the benefits are deeper relationships with the kids in your cabin, which
is often an eternal reward.
