Camp Qwanoes

Staff Training

Summer Staff Training (June 23 to 29, 2023)

This is a vital time of preparation for the summer, where we can make both our hearts and minds more ready for a summer of service. Here is where we will begin to develop the unity of our staff team and a vision for what God will do through us. There will be instructional sessions providing training in areas such as first aid, water safety, abuse response, counseling, activity skills, and emergency procedures.

If you are coming for three or more weeks during the summer you must attend Staff Training. Also, Staff Training is open to anyone who will be serving at any time in the summer. Leaders-in-Training are also required to attend as much as possible, depending on their grad and exam schedule.

You will enjoy Q-Town each evening as our Quixotic music team leads us in worship, and you will be challenged and encouraged by a speaker who knows what you need to be ready for camp ministry.

Featured Speaker: Chris de Monye

Our featured speaker at Staff Training is Chris de Monye who is the Lead Pastor of the Langley South campus of Village Church in BC. Chris is passionate about building relationships and seeing lives transformed by Jesus. Chris loves camp ministry - he has spoken at Qwanoes summer camps and we look forward to welcoming him back!

Look forward to a memorable week of insight, humour, encouragement, and spiritual foundations for the summer.

Special Staff Development Day:

This year we are excited to provide a special full day between our second and third camps (July 15, 2023) for the purpose of building our staff team. This extension of Staff Training will provide a special opportunity for our staff team to re-group, re-charge, and to share and celebrate what God has started in our summer. It will also provide a chance for extra rest, lots of fun, and simply hanging out together. It is expected that all summer-long staff plus those serving Junior High #2 through Juniors #1 will attend.
