This self-directed independent study may be taken at any time, but it is advisable to take a few other Compass Points courses for context first. Students are encouraged to complete Site Administration by the summer prior to the season in which they intend to Capstone. Visiting other camps and conference centers helps develop skills to think critically about our ministries. For this self-directed course, participants will choose and visit a camp and conference center different from one they are currently serving or have served. Participants will physically tour the site, interview staff who serve in various roles, and summarize the visit using comparative observations between this site and their own. Through the self-directed study, students will: • Tour another site that is unfamiliar and different from their own camp experience, interviewing staff members and observing them in their roles • Learn how to look at another site through the lenses of hospitality, building and grounds, food service, and communication/administration in order to learn and grow in their own ministry • Collect their observations and share their own feedback, including suggestions, praises, and concerns with the site visited After registering, students will receive the Site Administration syllabus/curriculum as a pdf document via email. Please contact Jen Burch if you do not receive your program documents. Please direct Site Admin questions/concerns to Russell Casteel, Site Admin Faculty
