Curriculum-Based Programs
Connect Camps include the following sessions, designed to meet the requirements of the Crossroads curriculum:
- Relationship vs. Isolation – the value and place of relationships and community in meeting personal needs
- Identity vs. Identical – knowing who you are even if it means knowing you’re different from others
- Diversity vs. Division – being different doesn’t mean you have to be divided
- Team success vs. Individual Failure – working in a team can bring success where individuals experience failure
- Communication vs. Conflict – communicating at the right time and place can be a relationship saver, even when it’s difficult
- Pleasure vs. Pain – understanding the impact of drugs enables us to avoid unhealthy experiences and to help others
- Present vs. Future – making choices for short term pleasure or long term benefit, presented within a Christian context
- Intimacy vs. Obsession – defining caring and respectful relationships and learning skills to invest in them
