Teen Empowerment Camps
Holy Ghost Inspired Teen Development Camps
Objective
These camps are mind and power development strategies for Christian adolescents maturing to adulthood empowered by the Word of God for their dispensation with testimonial manifestation of the Holy Ghost to ground their faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, we will:
- Explore the relevance of the Holy Ghost in the current social dispensation
- Acquire skills to manage emerging socio-political economic indices of their time and
- Investigate the purpose of God in nuclear family development.
Format
These are retreat-style social exploration camps which may be daily camps or boarded. There will be short less than one-week retreats, others of about 10 days and summer camps that may span several weeks. The specific objective, agenda and available resources will determine the format of each organized retreat with ample information and opportunity to prepare for each camp.

About this event:
73 days 9 hours of vocation developmental camping
A rigorous curriculum in 6 modules designed to mentally provoke and physically challenge creativity in young children without necessarily repeating classroom details. Children will gravitate into supervised cohorts to create, design, develop and present outcomes for peer criticism at the end of every two-week developmental module. Every participant will participate in research and concept development. This is not a lecture-based camp.
Every module is designed to produce a mentally challenging, physically engaging daily routine.
Parents are encouraged to obtain updates on student performance after every two-week module. The campers will make final presentations to parents and the public in the week of August 7 -11.
