Nehemiah Team

Level 1 of Leadership Development

Servant Leadership

In Nehemiah Team, campers experience service as modeled by Christ and discover that serving others is foundational to both Biblical leadership and Biblical community. Through hands-on service, Scripture, and shared experiences, campers are challenged to look beyond themselves and develop a new perspective on what it means to lead. Campers also learn that while God calls each of us into a personal relationship with Him, we are not meant to follow Him alone. God uses community to encourage, refine, challenge, and guide us as we grow in Christ and learn to serve others well.

Program Elements

Nehi’s serve camp behind-the-scenes in a variety of work crews (kitchen, housekeeping, grounds maintenance, etc.), study the book of Nehemiah, worship and soak up teaching during nightly leadership chapels, strengthen bonds through team building activities, and make lasting memories on an overnight camping trip.

Work Crews

Nehi’s serve behind the scenes to help make camp happen! This might be picking up trash around camp, serving meals in the kitchen, or blazing new trails on our grounds.

Team Building

Nehi’s are taught how to work as a team and the importance of learning to trust and rely on others.Throughout their two weeks Nehi’s will participate in five team building activities including low-ropes and high ropes elements, designed to stretch them as a team, and ultimately learn what it means to work together effectively.

Adventure Trips

The Nehi trip is designed to celebrate two weeks of intentional communal formation and purposeful challenge! At WOKA Whitewater Park in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, campers can celebrate their hard work through play, adventure, and time together.

After WOKA, Nehi teams will continue experiencing the joy of Christ in Creation with an overnight camping trip nearby, enjoying cooking over the fire, games, stories, and hammock camping.

Bible Study & Chapel

Nehi’s focus on the life of Nehemiah as an example of how to live as a servant of God. Each day they will study the book of Nehemiah, and then have a chapel unique to their Leadership Development experience.
