LEAD TEAM

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE REVIVE LEAD TEAM

Thank you for your interest in the Revive Lead Team.

The Lead Team is an opportunity for students ages 16-21 (must turn 16 by June 1st) to serve, grow and be discipled in Christ while at camp and on retreats.

Lead Team gets to serve on several wonderful Revive retreats and camps. Attending these retreat and camps along with the pre-retreats is required if you are selected to serve on Lead Team. (Limited exceptions will be made on an individual and emergency basis only.)

Lead Team members will now be asked to raise their own support through the help of their local churches. Each student will raise $2500 (we will provide sample emails that you can send out). A portion ($2000) of that will go toward paying for your registration to Revive camps and retreats and the other ($500) will return to you as an honorarium. More info in your “Lead Team Welcome Packet” when/if you are selected.
