Leader Encouragement and Development (LEAD) Camp is a leadership development camp for young people in years 7 to 12 who have skills and attitudes required for Christian leadership.
Through a fun and engaging program, participants will grow in their faith, learn practical skills, improve self-awareness, get practical ministry experience, and find out about Christian service opportunities in their church and community (i.e. schools and camps) while connecting with other Jesus-loving youth from the region.
On camp, participants will have the opportunity to shape the future of SUA in ACT/Southern NSW by working alongside current and potential SU leaders and directors, with both groups inspiring and learning from each other.
Campers will have the opportunity to connect with other campers through games, activities, and relaxing together by the campfire. They will also be equipped for leadership, learning practical skills such as:
What’s expected of a (Christian) leader?
Running games and activities well
Preparing and facilitating a Bible Discussion
Managing Behaviour
Including those on the Fringes
Running a Christian Group at School
Participants will be encouraged to put their skills into practice on camp at the kids program of a local church, as well as by participating as a Junior Leader on an SU program (e.g SUPA Holiday (Canberra), Zone 40 camp (Wee Jasper) in September, and/or at their local school) We hope to see a new generation of leaders equipped to serve in their local churches and communities as they mature.
