Summer Programs

The Summer Program is the largest facet of stepping stones, revolutionizing the summer staff program at Muskoka Bible Centre into an intentional discipleship tool. The Summer Program involves more than 80 youth between the ages of 15-25, split into 4 enrollment levels (SIT, STAND, Frontline and CORE).

The Spiritual Formation component of the program will involve instructor lead teaching sessions, group bible studies, personal assignments, discussion and spiritual disciplines. All sessions/activities are designed to promote a deeper understanding and relationship with God.

In the summer program stepping stones students will apply for a wide variety of service opportunities including: Food Services, Housekeeping, Maintenance, Children's Ministry, Skills Instructing, Youth Ministry and more. Some participates (depending on their enrollment level) receive an honorarium. Please read the 2010 application kit for more information.
