We’re not much for sitting around. We believe people learn best through action and reflection. Participants will learn about different leadership models, explore their own leadership gifts and reflect upon how they are being called to make a difference through role plays, simulations, group discussions and working through common group tasks (both zany and serious). Each participant will belong to a working group of six to eight people that will be facilitated by a member of the leadership team. In many ways, the working group is the core of the Camp Micah experience where participants grow most in self-knowledge and friendship. Each day begins and ends with prayer—the kind that makes your heart want to sing. The afternoon interest groups and camp activities will give every participant an opportunity to learn new skills or do something they have never done before. But the best part of Camp Micah, we think, is the explosion of creativity and joy that happens when people come together to share their talents and gifts, their stories and laughter, and most of all their dreams.
Our Leadership Philosophy What do you think of when you hear the term “leader?” Do you think of somebody who is “the boss,” somebody who is “in charge,” who gives orders and expects others to obey? Somebody who has a lot of power? At Camp Micah, when we hear the term “leader,” we think of somebody who acts justly with a spirit of love in the humble service of others. Somebody who’s willing to take a risk to make a difference, who wants to help others be their best selves, and who’s not afraid to get down on their hands and knees to scrub a floor or clean a toilet. And when we think someone who is a “leader,” we also think of somebody with a lot of power. People who can encourage, heal, teach, forgive, and sacrifice for others. People who are gentle and bold, passionate and compassionate. People who aren’t afraid to welcome a stranger or face an enemy with an open hand. These are all people who have a great deal of power. It is the transformative power of love. A force more powerful than any bomb or gun. The only force that can really change the world. This is the kind of leader we’re seeking at Camp Micah. Are you being called?
