Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12

412 is a 3-week program for young people who want to develop leadership skills in their life, go deeper in their relationship with Jesus, and get equipped to work effectively with children, whether at JOY or in a variety of settings. Inspired by 1 Timothy 4:12, our goal is to challenge and train young people to live out their faith in such a way that transforms their world.

Program components include a balance of classroom and hands-on learning during week 1, with opportunities to apply new skills in the Family Camp program; during week 2, guys will be involved in the Boys’ Camp program, while the girls continue the learning in a wilderness setting at our Card Lake site; week 3 sees the girls involved in the Girls’ Camp program, while the guys are at Card Lake.

Some of the topics covered will be personal growth and discipleship, facilitation skills, group dynamics/team building, campfire and program skills, cabin-leading expectations and challenges. Mature leaders will live in a cabin setting (and sometimes a tent!) with program participants. Successful participants in program will be considered for cabin leader and support staff positions at JOY in future, and will gain valuable leadership training for other ministries and opportunities
as well.
