Assistant Leaders
Thinking through what to do with your Summer/Easter Holidays? Come to Glod as an Assistant Leader (AL).

Who?
What?
ALs come to Glod to:
- SERVE behind the scenes with practical tasks
- LEARN more of the Christian faith with the AL teaching programme.
- BELONG to a team, making friends with Christians their age.
What's it like?
Who would have thought that cleaning toilets and washing up could be so enjoyable, but it is. It’s something to do with being part of a close-knit team that laughs lots together as the tasks are done. Another memorable aspect to the week is playing fun games with the ALs each evening, as well as doing some of the afternoon activities with the campers.
For many sharing their faith alongside other ALs of their own age including 2-3 hours of Christian teaching a day makes the whole experience life-changing. Come along and find out for yourself. Below is what a day at camp would look like.
Example of a typical AL daily timetable:
7.45 Breakfast & packed lunch prep
8.45 Eat breakfast
9.10 Wash up and prep afternoon drinks and cake
10.00 Morning Christian Meeting with all the campers
10.30 Cleaning bathrooms & hoovering
11.15 Widegame with all the campers
