What does this
mean for our campers? |
|
1. |
Campers will hear
about Jesus Christ through Bible stories and
will have devotional times while they are
here. |
|
2. |
During programmed
camps, campers will have the
opportunity to participate in riding
times, ground lessons, chapel times and all camp events, fellowshipping with
others. |
|
3. |
Shamineau also plans chapel times
for programmed camps. Chapel times generally consist of skits
and games, singing, and a speaker
who shares a message. |
| |
|
|
What else should I
expect at the Ranch? |
|
1. |
Campers will need
long pants with boots or lace-tied shoes
to ride a horse. Many
outside activities are offered when the weather
allows, so pack seasonally
appropriate clothes. |
|
2. |
Life at Shamineau is informal and modesty is
expected. Campers should not wear tank tops
with spaghetti straps, midriff-baring
shirts, and tight or short shorts/pants.
The Shamineau waterfront requires
1-piece swimming suits. |
|
3. |
Campers should be
ready to have a great time, make new
friends, and be encouraged through
fellowship with other campers and staff. |
| |
|
|
Safety |
|
1. |
Shamineau makes every
effort to have a Nurse, EMT, or First
Responder present at every camp. |
|
2. |
During summer, the
waterfront hires certified lifeguards
to watch the swim areas. Campers must
also pass a swimming test to go in the
deep section. |
|
3. |
A night watch
security guard is also hired during summer. |
| |
|
|
Our staff |
|
1. |
To qualify for a summer staff position,
each staff member must successfully
complete an in-depth process.
First, an application must be completed,
including answering questions about
childcare experience, certifications,
and spiritual maturity. Three
references from adults who can comment
on their character are also required.
Second, each applicant must interview
for their position which is conducted in
person whenever possible. Lastly,
if an applicant is chosen, each must
attend our week-long staff training
where they will be prepared for a summer
of service. |

Along with full time
staff, our summer staff also help run
camps during the rest of the year.
