Disciples In Training
Purpose
The purpose of Disciples 'n Training is to help students grow in their faith and equip them to minister more effectively at camp and in their everyday lives. A full week program that includes training sessions and activities, as well as hands-on training in cabin and camp program settings.
We hope that through this intentional week of discipleship and development, students will be challenged in their faith and learn how to minister to those around them.

HONORARIUMS AND DISCOUNTS
WHO?
Students ages 15-18 are eligible to apply. Applications are accepted until March 31st, 2025. The DNT leaders + Camp Directors will process each application and prayerfully accept up to 26 students for this summer's DNT program.
Each applicant will be notified by April 12th regarding their application.
We are so thankful to offer TWO groups of DNT to welcome more students into the TMBC team this summer and further disciple youth in their faith. It is our desire to be intentional with each student and provide a program and community that will help them grow in their faith and leadership.
If a student is not accepted for DNT, we would absolutely love to encourage them to apply to volunteer at camp in another capacity. DNT is not the only option for students to serve and grow in. More information can be found on our Volunteer page, and will also be emailed out to students in their application follow-up email April 12th.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Meals
Accommodations
Tuck (daily snack shack)
Paintball gear & game time
Sessions & Coaching from DNT Leaders + Camp leaders
In-cabin shadowing throughout your training week
Camp out & one day off-site for team building
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DNT?
Upon completion of DNT, students are welcome to step into camp roles and help fill in the need for volunteers across the summer!
DNT prepares students for many camp roles, not just to become a cabin leader. We encourage students throughout their DNT week to give different roles a try and learn more about their own gifts and talents. Camp is a community of so many people, and there are many different roles to fill. We love seeing students try new roles and grow in their abilities as they serve with the camp team!
In the DNT application, students will indicate which additional weeks they'd like to serve in and what role(s) they prefer. This does not have to be completed at the time of applying for DNT. Often times, students select additional weeks once they are at camp. (However, if you know you want to be at camp for several/all weeks of camp -- that is very helpful for our leadership team to know in advance as it helps us determine the needs across the summer).
HONORARIUMS & DISCOUNTS
All volunteers are provided an honorarium for each camp session they volunteer for (outside of their DNT program week).
Honorariums are based on age and role.
Sr. Teen Discount
2025 DNTer's who volunteer throughout the summer are given a discount for Sr. Teen camper fees equal to $35/per volunteer week.
Volunteer Discount
Volunteers who have not participate in DNT but volunteer in other capacities are given a discount for Sr. Teen camper fees equal to $25/per volunteer week.
