Middle schoolers tend to experience tremendous growth in their faith when they share it with their peers and younger students. The JAM Preparation Camp, which will take place simultaneously with JAM Camp, will provide a perfect outlet for this opportunity since middle schoolers will be serving as coaches for kindergarten through fourth graders during JAM Camp, which will take place in the evenings. During the day, seventh and eighth graders will have a stake in planning and executing JAM Camp from the ground up—assisting camp staff with program creation, station development and outside set-up.
