CMS 30500 Principles of Youth Camping
This course is the study of the biblical/theological basis for ministry beyond the church walls for new generations in the "owned" stage of faith development. The student will gain skills and knowledge necessary to plan, implement, and assess off-site camping ministry events, and to biblically interpret the message of the cosmos. Topics will include risk management, transportation, legal and liability concerns, insurance, first aid and medical concerns, reparations, equipment, food, locations, wilderness ethics, sexuality issues, relevant recreational activities, and spiritual guidance. Special emphasis is placed on a biblical doctrine of nature, the "witness of creation," and the wilderness experience as curriculum. The highlight of the course will be a laboratory experience. Not open to students with credit in REC 34200.
