About
NEVER THE SAME CAMP (NTS) IS AN ENVIRONMENT THAT CREATES SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO CONNECT TO THEIR CREATOR, TO A NETWORK OF SUPPORT FROM THEIR LOCAL CHURCH, AND TO A CARING ADULT SMALL GROUP LEADER FROM THEIR YOUTH MINISTRY.NTS IS A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOCAL CHURCH TO SEE CHANGE HAPPEN ON 3 DIFFERENT LEVELS:1. STUDENT TRANSFORMATION:NTS CAMP SETS THE TABLE FOR A STUDENT TO MEET WITH GOD, BUT OUR PHILOSOPHY IS THAT THE CAMP IS JUST THE BEGINNING. NTS IS STRATEGICALLY STRUCTURED SO THAT THE STUDENT IS SET UP FOR LONG-TERM SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND SUCCESS ACCOMPLISHED BY PROVIDING A SUPPORT STRUCTURE THAT CONTINUES ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.2. YOUTH MINISTRY PREPARATION:THE WEEK AT NTS IS STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED AROUND THE SMALL GROUP ENVIRONMENT. THIS MAKES NTS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR THE YOUTH MINISTRY BECAUSE OF THE SHARED LIFE EXPERIENCE BETWEEN THE STUDENT AND ADULT LEADER. THIS RELATIONSHIP WILL ALLOW FOLLOW UP AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE COMMITMENTS THAT STUDENTS MAKE AT NTS CAMP.3. LOCAL CHURCH CONNECTION:MANY TIMES THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN WHAT MAKES CHURCHES GOOD AND GREAT IS THE AMOUNT OF CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THEIR STUDENTS. WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE TO SEE STUDENTS ENERGIZED ABOUT THEIR FAITH INTEGRATING WITH THE REST OF THE CHURCH COMMUNITY? NTS SEEKS TO INTEGRATE THE EXCITEMENT THE STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCING AFTER CAMP WITH THE MISSION OF THEIR LOCAL CHURCH.THE ORGANIZATION HAS INITIATIVES IN 26 STATES AND HAS COMMUNICATED AT EVENTS IN THE PRESENCE OF APPROXIMATELY 40,000 STUDENTS AND ADULTS ACROSS THE US. THE ORGANIZATION IS ESTIMATING 3,000 STUDENTS ATTENDING THE SUMMER EVENTS FOR NTS CAMPS. ADDITIONAL INTEREST IS GENERATED VIA THE NTS CAMP WEBSITE AND VIA SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES.
