6/2
Survey Analysis from SC06 was presented. The comments and suggestions made by the campers were addressed and discussed.
- One of the major problems from last year was that during the boy/girl discussion groups, the male campers were in smaller groups, while the female campers were in very large groups.
- The large groups made it hard for the girls to open up and share their feelings and opinions.
- These discussions should be a personal experience so we need to make smaller groups.
- We have more female counselors this year, so large groups can be made smaller, but due to the large number of campers this year, large groups could still present a problem.
- One of the possible reasons, the female campers had trouble opening up was because there were not that many discussions available to them. Having more discussion programs would allow more opportunities.
- Some of the campers from last year said they wouldn't mind being in a discussion with a male counselor. In the meeting, we tossed around the idea of co-ed discussion groups.
- The viability of co-ed groups cannot be be broadly classified into 'will work' or 'will not work'. The viability is largely depending on the topic being discussed. Female campers would probably not mind if they were in a co-ed discussion group about personal testimony, or talking about peace, etc.
- These gender-specific groups should be formed, when the issue being discussed is gender-specific.
- We discussed of having cabin reflections be opportunities for these gender-specific discussions.
- We did not come to a clear conclusion on what we will do about co-ed groups, and we will pursue this topic later on.
- One of the campers commented that the campfire site is too small and uncomfortable. This has felt like a problem for the past several years. The campsite we have been using has just been too small for us.
- We concluded that the campfire would need to be moved to the campfire site near the volleyball courts. This would give us ample room for the large amount of campers this year.
- We used this campfire site our first year at Summit Lake, and at the time it was too large. This site should work out for us this year. And like that first year, we would need to take benches from the kitchen to the campsite.
- Praise has always been well-received by the campers, but there are always those that choose to sit or stay in the back. We need to find ways to keep them spiritually engaged while choosing to not sing.
- We discussed having visuals or pictures during the praise program so that those who choose not to sing can still receive the word. They will have a chance to reflect. It was also mentioned that these visuals or slides should be translated into Korean.
- In addition, there could also be body worship along with the praise.
- To further engage the campers from Korea would might be more reluctant to participate, there should also be Korean praise songs.
