Year Two: ROOTs

Building Personal Character


ROOTs is the second year of youth development and leadership training at IAWAH. It is a four week program for 16/17 year old youth (completed Grade 10). Participants choose to learn in one of two distinct environments.

"in the Greenhouse" (formerly ILT)

The environment of camp is the context for "in the Greenhouse". The program begins with a 5 day canoe trip followed by mission focused preparation and delivery of a week long Day Camp in a church or community setting. After their week of service, participants finish the program with an IAWAH work project and setting aside time to reflect on what God has taught them.

"in the Wild" (formerly CB)

The environment of the wilderness is the context for "in the Wild". The program begins with a 15 day canoe trip followed by a week of helping in a urban mission context (i.e. Day Camp).

All ROOTs and Assistant Staff applicants are invited to the Spring Primer March 9-11, 2012. Details to be released in February.
