believe, how to answer questions about their faith, and how to feel comfortable

such as microphone placement, use of mixing boards, sound level control, and

Independent Study
This elective is only available to students in grades 10-12.
The goal of this elective is to allow older students the chance to concentrate
on a particular subject throughout the week. Permission must be obtained from
the camp director in advance, and a staff member must be available and willing
to serve as an advisor. The student MUST make these arrangements PRIOR to
arriving at camp. (Justification for selecting this elective MUST be furnished
with your registration form.)
