CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Forerunner Training Camp:
A continuation of SFR’s mission to ‘train up a child’ (Proverbs 22:6). This camp is much different than Teen Camp; exclusively for 11th and 12th grade students, this camp is designed for the camper that desires to transition into being a leader. Ideally this is a two year preparation as they make the transition from camper to staff member. This is a significant mental transition for all those interested in servant leadership at SFR.

This will be accomplished through a daily schedule of warmups, sectionals, mass rehearsals, performances, and educational clinics. We will, however, offer optional private instruction for entire school drumlines, individual colorguard members and drum majors.
