Overview of camps

JLTC

Four day format. ( ½ day, full day, full day, ½ day)

PURPOSE: This camp will teach the role of a Junior Leader in his outpost. We will introduce him to the skills needed to return to his outpost and assist his commander. A strong spiritual awareness will be emphasized.

FORMAT: We will use an NTC style format as far as camping in patrols and daily formations. We do not follow NTC format as far as the same classes and training. If you do, a boy has nothing to look forward to at NTC as a leader. Camping skills will not be taught but will be practiced in a camping situation. By this point a boy should have been taught camping skills by his commander. If not, he will learn from his patrol. Camp will have a camp cook to prepare food and the boys will assist the cook by patrols to prepare food and cleanup.

CLASSES: He will be introduced to many aspects of being an effective leader including:

• Patrol Gold Bar System
• Junior Leader in the outpost
• Importance of punctuality
• Traits of a good Leader
• Advancement system
• Proper care of Uniforms
• Proper care of shoes and accessories
• Voice commands/facing/movements/formations/flag raising
• Building council fires, skits and stories
• Cooking and serving etiquette
• Knighthood and dating
• Outpost games
• Making the most of the Academy

AJTC

PURPOSE: “Advanced” will be stressed in this camp. The areas the boys were introduced to in JTC will be studied and practiced in depth.

CAMP FORMAT: This camp will run in conjunction with JTC. Advanced boys will be put into patrols and will fall into formation with the JTC boys for morning assembly, meals, and other formations during the day. Their training will be separate from the JTC boys and for 2 or 3 hours of the day the Advanced boys will teach and assist camp staff with the JTC boys including inspections of the JTC camps and the boy’s uniforms. (Boys teaching boys, learning with their peers) Boys by patrol will assist camp cook in setting tables in preparation for meals. Meals will be served in a formal manner to practice etiquette.

CLASSES: Classes will be many of the same subjects taught in JTC and will be studied and practiced at length. Life skills will be covered in depth in a group discussion format. We will allow boys the opportunity in a safe environment to be able to open up and share feelings and learn from the experiences of their peers as well as instructors. It is our desire that each young man will experience a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ during his training.
