WE ARE CAMP! - The National Association of United Church of Canada Camps

The National Association of United Church of Canada Camps

Who We Are

Created at Connections 2011, "The National Association of United Church of Canada Camps" is an association or body of all Camps associated with The United Church of Canada. A Facebook page has been created by Joe Richards for staff members, board members, camp directors, volunteers and supporters. Go to http://www.facebook.com/groups/naucc/ and then Request to Join. This is a "closed" group - meaning one of the members in the group has to add you after you request to join. More information on the Association will be posted in the future.

Welcome!

We Are Camp is a social networking site for "The National Association of United Church of Canada Camps" which includes all members of the United Church's Camping community. This is your site, a place for you to build relationships with each other, engage in discussions, share ideas and resources, and anything else related to camping in the United Church. It is our hope that the connections you make here will help you in whatever role you fill at camp.

We're looking for a few good volunteers to help with administering this site. If you're interested, please contact camping@united-church.ca.

The Canadian Summer Camp Research Project

The purpose of this study is to explore the outcomes children experience after participating in a summer camp program. In order to study this issue in-depth, we will be conducting a three phase study focusing on different groups involved in the camp experience: camp directors, current campers and camper alumni.

The completed report is now available to download - see The Canadian Summer Camp Research Project

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES

Social Media Guidelines for People Involved in Youth Ministry in The United Church of Canada

Social media is more than a communications tool: it is an amazing, accessible, and exciting platform for building and maintaining communities, getting information out, reaching out to new audiences, and connecting with people. Although these may be new tools and media for you, the same “rules of engagement” apply regarding relationships, boundaries, and ministry practices that ensure a safe and spiritually nourishing environment. These guidelines provide some information and advice for the paid staff and volunteers in youth ministry work in The United Church of Canada who use social media.
