HOW THE OVERALL S WORKS

HOW THE OVERALL S WORKS There are 4 Levels of achievement that a camper can earn in 11 Clinics at camp: Amateur, Competent, Proficient, and Specialist. Four clinics of the eleven (Bible, Crafts, Nature, and Swim) are general education requirements whereby a camper MUST have at least a Competent level of achievement to complete an overall S requirement. An overall S winner means a person achieved a certain level in a number of clinics. Overall Amateur S Requirement Explanation (Worth 25 pts. toward Total Team Score) An overall Amateur S winner has completed at least a Competent S in Bible, Crafts, Nature, and Swim. Then of the other seven clinics (Archery, Canoe, High Adventure, Martial Arts, Mountain Biking, Track, and Weight Training) they each achieved at least a Competent S in 4 out of the 7. Having an Amateur S in every clinic at camp does NOT award a camper an overall Amateur S. Overall Competent (Worth 50 pts.), Proficient (Worth 75 pts.), and Specialist S (Worth 100 pts.) Requirement Explanation An overall Competent S winner means a person completed at least a Competent S in all 11 clinics at camp. An overall Proficient S winner means a person completed at least a Proficient S in all 11 clinics at camp. An overall Specialist S winner means a person completed a Specialist S in all 11 clinics at camp. S SUBSTITUTION RULES Two physical requirements may be substituted if there has been a reasonable effort made to pass them evidenced by a camper achieving at least an Amateur S in the category he/she is requesting to substitute. Bible, Crafts, Nature, and Swim may not be substituted and may not be used to substitute. All substitutions must be made only once the entire S is completed except for what needs to be substituted. The following substitutions ONLY may be considered: Any larger requirement (i.e. any Proficient requirement may be considered a substitution for a Competent requirement provided that a camper already has an Amateur S in the clinic in question.) GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS BIBLE BIBLE builds a camper s basic understanding of studying Scripture and instills the importance of devotional time with God. Through memorization of Scripture campers learn to live Psalm 119:11. Campers will also take time to journal about what God is doing in their life through camp. As campers develop a deeper understanding of their faith in Jesus Christ, through studying the word, they will be better prepared to boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all who will hear.

CRAFTS CRAFTS creates and constructs projects with purpose. We help campers develop psychomotor skills and personal preferences in the use of materials, color, and design. Campers receive the freedom to experiment with materials and processes to do their own work. The results are finished projects and crafting skills that campers are proud to take home with them, and they ultimately get a sense for the purpose of creation from God s perspective.

Being outside without knowing the names of trees and plants is like walking in a strange city without knowing the names of streets and buildings. It is so much more interesting to look at the oak, pine, maple, etc. than to just look at trees.

A swim leader will facilitate that time and each group will have a group leader. The group leader is responsible for marking up S s of any camper who finishes the S with them. Each swim group leader will receive the S requirements for the group they are teaching as part of their swim group S chart.

CLINIC S REQUIREMENTS ARCHERY ARCHERY aims to teach accuracy with the bow and arrow in a context where campers become concerned for safety and the welfare of others. Learning proper techniques, equipment handling, and the principles behind the shooting process teaches patience and perseverance.

Becoming skilled in canoeing, will also help them feel safe and at ease in the water. New awareness of canoeing dangers and the skills needed to avoid them will instill an active caution in campers that lets them enjoy the water as they take steps to keep it a safe experience, giving us opportunities to debrief ideas such as paddling against the current in life, drifting away, and exercising vision to steer our proverbial life boats in the right direction. Safety Rules Parts Properly launch canoe Properly beach canoe In s and Out s in shallow water Paddle Distance Across Lake/Back SOLO SOLO In s and Out s in deep water Solo J, Draw, Sweep strokes HIGH ADVENTURE (Only Climbing Wall Currently) HIGH ADVENTURE consists of three vertical activities and identifying knots and equipment. The wall contains a variety of climbs to test the climbing skills at different levels. The faith pole is designed to build trust and empower individuals to move beyond their self- imposed limitations. Like our other high adventure activities, safety is key. After the experience, having confronted themselves and met the physical and spiritual challenge, campers may become more secure and more confident in their identity and abilities. High Adv also provides a context to reference aiming high, reaching out, and setting goals.
