| Frequently Asked Questions | |
- What is Super Summer?
Super Summer is an intense week of discipleship. Each summer, student from across Alabama converge on Samford University for a week of biblical training. In short, it is basically "Seminary for Students." Throughout the week, participating students will be challenged, motivated, and encouraged in their walk with the Lord. This is a "beyond the basics" discipleship week where students will be worshiping and studying with likeminded students from across the state.
- Who Should Come?
This is a "cream of the crop" camp. This camp is not designed for every student in your youth group to come. This is a very selective camp where requirements must be met in order to come. This process provides an atmosphere where likeminded students can grow in their relationship with the Lord with minimal distractions. There are age requirements to Super Summer, completed 8th grade to completed 12th.
- How is Super Summer different from other camps?
This experience is far different than most of your typical summer camps. Every student at Super Summer has the same goal. They want to grow closer to Christ. With this mentality, every student is challenged and encouraged by those around them. We've all been there. You have taken a group to camp and worked really hard to provide them a place where God can speak to them without distraction and Thursday Night rolls around and God shows up. That is exactly what happens at Super Summer. However, that takes place on Monday Night. This happens because the ones who are there want to be there and get down to business.
- How are students divided at Super Summer?
Students are divided up depending on their grade and how many times they have been to Super Summer. These divisions are called schools and are color coded (i.e. Red School, Green School, Blue School, etc.). Depending on how many times they have been to Super Summer and what grade they are in determines what curriculum they will study. The curriculum gets more advanced the older they are and the more times they attend Super Summer.
- "You don't teach that crazy stuff do you?"
Snake handling, prosperity gospel, and the "Your Best Life Now" stuff will be taught somewhere, but not here. The curriculum is Biblically Based and is designed to teach the students more than what they learn in Sunday School. Throughout the week they will be taught doctrine (God, Bible, Salvation, etc.), have lively discussion over important issues, and be taught various disciplines that will help them grow spiritually.
- Why should I send my students?
You love your students and you want them to grow stronger in the Lord. You should send them because you are tired of doing "typical camps" where you have to try and appease the masses. You desire your students who "get it" to grow and be encouraged by others who have the same mindset. You also see potential in some of your other students and want them to be around others who desire to grow in the Lord. Proverbs 27:17 says "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." This is lived out Super Summer.
