The information below can give you an idea of what the various roles involve, have a read and consider what role(s) might suit your strengths and passion.

Some of the roles needed:

Dorm Leaders (DLs) - DLs have one of the most challenging but rewarding roles at camp. Their roles require them to keep campers alive, on time, and handle many aspects for dorm life. While that might sound daunting, they also have an awesome opportunity to share their faith and lives with their dorm, as well as support and encourage their dorm through all of camps activities. DLs will also be responsible for supporting each other through the wild ride that is SEP.

Dorm Chappies - Chappies are responsible for assisting with the teaching and spiritual wellbeing of the dorm. They lead the daily discussions and participate in follow-up discussion at the evening dorm meetings. Prayer for their DLs and campers is also a major focus of this role. Chappies are encouraged to spend as much time as they are able with the dorm, supporting the DLs and creating relationships with the campers.
