STAFFING
Our staff for program camps comes from two places: student ministry volunteers from our parent ministry, Beth Eden Baptist Church; and college students from other solid, local churches.
Regardless of where they come from, we run references for all our staff, background check them, and train them in vital areas of student ministry like sexual abuse prevention (through MinistrySafe), First Aid/CPR (through AHA), Standard Response Protocol (through the "I Love U Guys" foundation), and basics of biblical counseling.
The bottom line criteria we use in determining who will be in cabins with campers is who our year-round staff would be comfortable overseeing our kids. We don't want anyone taking care of kids who would make a parent or pastor uncomfortable and work hard to ensure our staff is the very best there is.
