Non-Profit Board Excellence Training
Led virtually by Clearview Training – $145 in-person, $100 online
More details and Registration

Many people who join camp boards have a real passion for the ministry, but no prior experience or training in effective Board Governance. They often pick up bad habits and then pass these on to others. This training helps stop this cycle in its tracks and injects strength and professionalism into the Board’s practices. CCI/Canada has hosted 2 Pre-Conference Board Training sessions at our 2022 & 2024 national conferences, with over 50 camps participating. The feedback was incredible!

Who Should Attend?
- Anyone serving on a non-profit board or considering serving on a board.
- Executive Directors or CEOs of non-profit boards.
- Organizational staff – to fully understand the role the Board plays in the organization.

How will the Training Work?
Register to attend in person or online (over Zoom). If you are in-person and others from your camp are online, come with a laptop so you can discuss together over Zoom. Camps that have only one person attending will be combined with other camps for discussions.

Is your year-round ministry thriving—or simply surviving?

Operating a Christian camp or conference centre year-round can be an exciting opportunity to expand your ministry, reach more people, and do more Kingdom work. But the reality of year-round operations can also be challenging. Staffing, programming, facility use, finances, marketing, maintenance, and changing guest expectations can quickly turn an exciting vision into an exhausting struggle.

So how do you move from surviving to thriving?

This Head Start Seminar will explore the key components of a healthy, sustainable year-round Christian Camping & Conference Ministry. Together, we will look honestly at the challenges and opportunities of year-round operations and explore practical principles, strategies, ideas, and evaluation metrics that can help you build a ministry that thrives.

You will explore:
· What makes a year-round ministry healthy and sustainable
· The key operational and ministry challenges of going year-round
· How to evaluate whether your year-round ministry is actually working
· Practical strategies for staffing, facilities, programming, finances, and guest development
· Metrics that can help you measure progress and make better decisions
· Ideas and approaches you can take home and begin implementing

Who Should Attend?
Directors and year-round ministry coordinators of Christian camps and conference centres who:
· are considering moving to year-round operations;
· have recently begun operating year-round; or
· are already operating year-round but want to move from surviving to thriving.

Come prepared to ask questions, challenge assumptions, share your experiences, and take home practical ideas for helping your year-round ministry thrive.
