BOOT OFFERINGS: ADULT DIVISION (Adults will remain in class from 9:15 11:45 a.m.) The Boot Camp Program was initiated as a Four-Year Christian Development Program for Youth and their Adult Leaders. The program consisted of four strands identified as Camps with a different focus area of enrichment. We have completed the four-year cycle that was originally planned. The response to the initiative has been overwhelming. We are now in Phase II of the Boot Camp Program which will provide a more intense program designed to assist youth and leaders in addressing issues that are currently impacting the lives of young people in our local church. In Phase II of the Boot Camp Program, we will provide two of the original Camp Workshops at each Boot Camp because we have new leaders attending each year that can benefit from the basic foundation provided by the original Camp Workshop. We will add two or more additional workshops each year to address those issues that we must deal with in our local churches when working in youth ministry. Completion Certificates: Each person that has attended all four sessions is eligible to receive a Christian Education Certificate from the Young People s Department. One of the new workshops can replace Camp Delta if needed. An Advanced Certificate will be awarded when four (4) additional workshops are completed. The Boot Camp Four Year Training Program Course Documentation Card is included in this packet and should be turned in by May 1, 2017 for this year s recognition. The cards must be signed by your local Pastor. If you are unsure of your courses, we will provide another form at Boot Camp for requesting assistance. Persons who complete the program will receive the certificate and their names will be printed in the Annual State Convention Program in July 2017.
