Teens-in-training (TNT)

What is it?
Our annual Teens-In-Training (TNT) program is for 8th through 12th grade students (students must be at least 14 years old) who are interested in working as Junior Counselors at Oak Hill Christian Service Camp. TNT is held on one weekend during April and consists of rigid self-discipline, regular evaluation, inspirational and motivational sessions, small group community responsibilities, serving/learning opportunities, physical activities, leadership technique development, and direct Bible study!

What to bring to Teens-In-Training?
A large notebook, casual (recreational) clothing, work clothing that can be and probably will get grubby, insect repellant, rain gear, flashlight, pencils, an alarm clock, and your Bible.
When and where?
The program will begin with dinner at 6 p.m. on April
25, 2008, and will end about 7 p.m. on April 26, 2008. Applicants must attend all sessions in order to be considered for summer staff positions - NO EXCEPTIONS.
