Resources for Camp Leaders
RAC Newsletter - Winter 2008

New! Available in January 2009

The Complete Leader’s Guide to Christian Retreats
Author: Rachel Gilmore
Publisher: Judson Press
ISBN: 0-8170-1546-6
Cost: $17.00

The Complete Leader’s Guide to Christian Retreats offers pastors, Christian educators, and lay leaders a comprehensive guide to the process of planning for a retreat and a resource for developing retreat programs. It includes rationale for holding retreats as well as the details of a planning process. The majority of the book contains retreat designs for a variety of groups within the church such as women, youth, men, and families. Each program outline begins with a schedule and follows with detailed instruction for the retreat. The retreat schedules vary in length from one to three days.

Although created primarily for congregational leaders, this new resource can be a helpful addition to the libraries of camp leaders. Many congregations who come to your site for retreats need assistance in developing both plans and programs for their retreats. By making this book available or suggesting it to them, you can enrich their total retreat experience. You may want to consider listing this resource on your Web site as a way of assisting congregations in their planning process.
