Servant in Training Program

What is a SIT?

The Servant in Training (SIT) program is designed for 15 to 18-year-olds to serve in camping ministry and gain an understanding of the various team roles involved in running the summer program. This program is a tremendous opportunity to develop a youth's faith and leadership skills while serving others.

 

What does a SIT do?

SITs are required to commit a minimum of two weeks to the program (not necessarily consecutive weeks), during which they will spend at least one week as part of our program team, and the other week(s) as part of our support team.

 

The program team is focused on the camp program, including planning and leading camp activities, and supporting the needs of the campers. As part of the program team, the SIT will be paired with a counsellor and stay in a cabin with a group of kids for that week.

 

The support team is responsible for all of the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our camp operating, including:


Maintenance - Tasks mainly include groundskeeping, servicing camp equipment, assisting in any camp construction projects, and looking after the maintenance requests of the program team.

 

Housekeeping - Tasks mainly include cleaning the bathhouses, bathrooms, and other program areas.

 

Kitchen - Tasks mainly include food preparation and cleaning kitchen equipment and utensils.

 

Do SITs receive any training?

We have a SIT training day in June to help prepare SITs for the summer ahead. The date will be announced in the spring, but the training usually takes place on a Saturday afternoon in Saskatoon. Any youth who are interested in becoming a SIT are encouraged to first participate in our Youth Leadership Training Camp during the summer. 

 

How do I apply?

Applications for the 2020 SIT program will be available on December 1, 2019.

Download the appropriate application form and return it to Kinasao by May 15. 

 

What happens after I apply?

After you apply and are accepted, we will confirm which weeks you are needed as a SIT. We'll also mail you a letter to take to your local Police or RCMP station to receive a Criminal Record Check (free of charge). This check is mandatory in order for you to be a SIT. You'll also need to download and complete the Health Form and bring it to camp with you.

Adult Volunteers

We need your help! Adult volunteers are asked to spend a minimum of 4 hours per day in service in return for meals and lodging. 


You may volunteer at any time during the year by contacting the camp office to find out what current projects need assistance.  We are busy all year long, and extra hands are always appreciated!


All volunteers need to have a Police Record Check on file at the camp.
