Curriculum

GENERAL ACTIVITIES

Class Lectures

Monday through Friday, outstanding instructors will teach three 50-minute classes a day geared at topics that concern teens today. All lectures will be in English.

Chapel

There is no better way to start the day than with chapel. Every morning, time is dedicated to worship, prayer, and encouraging testimonies. 

Group Presentation

The class is divided into small groups and assigned a topic for their presentation. During the last days of class, each group presented their topic using specific guidelines and creative methods, with each student taking an active role in participation. 

Counselor Hour

Throughout the week, discussion sessions are held with each counselor and their group. During this time, counselors connect with each teen on a personal level by answering questions that trouble them and investing in each of their lives. 

Choir 

All students partake in the choir and attend daily rehearsals where they are exposed to music appreciation and vocal training. The choir participates in local church events and graduation ceremony. 

Team Building

These classes are filled with activities and games that teach teamwork and encourage everyone to work together. 

Etiquette Classes

During these sessions, proper etiquette is taught with special concentrations for guys and girls. The instructor also elaborates on the men’s and women’s roles in society using Biblical perspectives. 

Community Outreach

Sharing the Gospel is not always an easy task, especially for teenagers. With this in mind, we developed a class that presents methods and techniques for sharing the Gospel with people on the street. 

Sports

This is a daily activity where everyone gets a chance to play sports, work together, and enjoy the outdoors. 

ACTIVITIES FOR GIRLS

Cooking

Each girl has the opportunity to take part in a hands-on cooking class. With an experienced cook as their guide, girls learn to make certain dishes and desserts from scratch. 

Hair Design

This class is taught by stylists who will demonstrate the basic principles and techniques of hair design, such as braiding, curling, and styling. 

Crafts  

Another creative hands-on activity is the crafts class, where girls are given the opportunity to create candles, shirts, cards, and much more under the instruction of an experienced designer. 

Event Decor 

Girls are also involved in event decoration and are taught how to make centerpieces, place settings, table covers, and other details of decorating. They then stage an event for their counselors as a way to show their ability and appreciation. 

ACTIVITIES FOR BOYS

Woodshop

In this practical and hands-on course, guys are taught basic woodworking skills and the proper use of power tools.

Survivor

This class is not an ordinary experience. The instructor demonstrates basic survival skills by going out to a nearby forest and teaching how to start a fire, recognize poisonous plants, build shelters, and keep warm. Teamwork is also emphasized as tasks are accomplished.

Mechanics

In this class, guys are given an opportunity to work on an actual car. They replace tires and car parts, change oil and paint, and are given the thrill of driving stick shifts. 

Fishing

Fishing is a great activity that can be done at any age. Fishing takes little time and practice. Our team teaches students about fishing techniques through hands-on experiences.
