Program areas at Never the Same Camp
Never the Same provides immersive experiences, practical resources, and missional initiatives for individual students, local church youth ministries, and adult youth workers. We help nurture faith in students using three methods: (1) teaching students about god, scripture and spiritual disciplines are central to our values. By creatively presenting the rich traditions of the christian faith, Never the Same has trained thousands of students and youth workers in themes such as the nicene creed, inductive bible study, and the practices of prayer. (2) surrounding students with the strength and support of the local church is an important strategy of Never the Same and is integral to building a structure for students to succeed. the ministries of Never the Same include built in mechanisms that connect students to their local church leadership and fellowship. (3) creating opportunities for students to learn and interact using technology is key when engaging students today. Through mobile app technology, social media, podcasting, and web development, Never the Same is continuing to form ways for students to experience and practice their christian faith.
