The SVR Apprenticeship Program is here to provide a hands-on learning experience in a Christian camp ministry environment while providing both Biblical discipleship and leadership training. This nine-month program provides an experience that is both structured and intentional for each individual and provides an environment for learning designed to equip for spiritual development and growth, ministry awareness, and specifically Christian camp ministry readiness.
