DGEWATER, MarylandTen regional Summer Educational Program (SEP) camp directors participated in the American Camping Association Basic Camp Director Course Feb. 16 to 20. The training took place at YMCA Camp Letts in Edgewater.Those who participated are Steve Botha (SEP Connecticut), Greg Williams (SEP North Carolina), Jim Valekis (SEP Ohio), Sarah Samuels Miles (SEP Colorado), Dennis Pelley (SEP California), Mike Rasmussen (SEP Arkansas), Amy Johnson (SEP Washington), Lynn Lawrence (SEP Quebec), Eric Warren (SEP Saskatchewan) and Emily Ward (SEP Madagascar). Barb Egbert from the SEP Office also participated.
The course allowed all of the camp directors to be on the same page in terms of requirements and administrative components associated with directing a camp, said Jeb Egbert, SEP director.
This training complements training each director has already received from the SEP Office in terms of resources and processes used previously at the camp at Orr, Minnesota.
After the ACA training, the camp directors met in Baltimore, Maryland, with Dr. Egbert to discuss youth ministry and camp-related issues.
