K-5th Volunteers Please Read

Important for K-5th grade Small Group and Large Group volunteers of Kidz Camp:

1. Please watch the "Elevate Kids: Watch this video to learn how to use Elevate Kids" before volunteering for the first time this year.  http://www.elevateatchurch.com/
2. The theme for September 2nd through December 16th is "Allaso Ranch":
• There's something for everyone at Allaso Ranch! Whether you like hiking, swimming, paintball, riding down zip lines, or riding horses, this camp is where you want to be. Pack your suitcase, and don't forget your pillow, because at Allaso Ranch we're getting away and getting to know God.

3. We have a new schedule for teaching/leading each two week lesson unit. Essentially, Week A is the "teaching week" which is largely spent inside the Large Group Room with time for only one very short Small Group Activity. Week B, is the "application week" with a short review time spent in Large Group and a longer time spent in Small Groups with multiple games & activities.
4. Small Group Training DVDs and Lesson Scripts will be available during week A of each Lesson Unit.
5. We are test driving this new system and may need to make adjustments along the way. Please be prepared to make adjustments to the schedule & the lessons based on your needs and the needs of the children you are leading.
