Servant And Leadership Training
SALT (Servant And Leadership Training) is the counselor-in- training program for boys at Camp Hemlock. This experiential learning leadership program is designed primarily for young men who are 15+ years old by July 1. SALT is for young men who aspire to leadership for Christ. It is a physically, mentally, and spiritually challenging program that incorporates intense camping experiences and leadership skill development. Successful completion is a prerequisite for serving on staff. The requirements for admission to the SALT program are:
A personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
- A desire to grow in Christ and serve Him, i.e., be “the salt of the earth.” Matthew 5:13.
- 15 years old by July 1.
- A successful interview with Camp Board representatives.
- Two completed reference forms.
- Completion of the CSB Battalion ‘Explorer’ rank in the Adventure Trails book before arrival. Please contact us at info@camphemlock.org if you are not in a CSB Battalion program to obtain a copy of Adventure Trails.
Why the firm July 1 age cut-off?
To be on boys junior staff the following year, your son must be 16 years old. Extending the cut-off date would mean that he would be too young to be on staff.
