Camp Isms and Schisms

by Paul Daley

"Camp Isms and Schisms" is dedicated to sharing important principles related to Christian residential wilderness programs for troubled youth and families. These camp principles go against the norm of some mainstream camping programs for youth, hence the title, “isms and schisms.” Follow along as Chief Paul Daley explains many indispensable program principles, while sharing some camp memories and stories as well. Whether you are a current chief, former employee, supporter of camp, or stranger to camp, you will walk away with new knowledge, an aspiration to grow in your position at camp, or a greater desire to learn more about these programs. If you know someone who is interested in working at a Christian camping ministry with children and families in need, please direct them to www.campcareers.org.
