Summer camp is not just a spiritual high point. It is a strategic opportunity for gospel impact. In this episode, John and Ian walk through what it means to lead students well before, during, and after camp. From setting expectations to creating margin, they share hard-earned wisdom for making the most of camp season.
They also dive into one of the most debated questions in student ministry: Should we baptize students at camp? You will hear their honest conversation on timing, accountability, and local church connection when it comes to responding to salvation decisions.
What we cover:
• How to plan for discipleship, not just hype
• What to prioritize before the bus ever leaves
• Leading your team well while at camp
• Making follow up a strategy, not an afterthought
• What to consider before saying yes to camp baptisms
Listen in and equip yourself to lead camp season with intention and clarity.
