A Note About Teaching English Camp Classes

The lessons don’t need to be followed word-for-word, but can be modified based on the ages of the students in each class, their English skill level, the time you have for each class session, etc.

The goal of each Bible study or lesson is to facilitate class discussion. The idea is not for a leader to do all of the talking while the students sit and listen. The leader and students should be able to review the topic of the day and then discuss it in whatever directions fit the group best.

This format has worked very well for us in English camp settings, where the level of Bible knowledge is usually unknown (or may be extremely varied within a group) and the levels of English proficiency are also unknown in advance.

Approach each day’s material as a ‘starting point’ that you and your students can take to whatever ‘depth’ the group can handle.

Read through the lessons a few times before using them and then give yourself permission to take the class ‘off the beaten path’ on the day you present the material, and you’ll do fine.

After all, it’s not totally you doing the teaching or the leading, right?

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
John 3:8
