The Skills Lab
at the Mid States Camp Conference | Saturday, March 30 - Sunday, March 31, 2019
Since its beginning, Mid States has always focused on hands-on, experiential learning for all levels of the camp profession. In 2015 the planning team excitedly revealed the Mid States Skills Lab – an interactive, certification and skill development school held before the Mid States Camp Conference.
For 2019, each course has been carefully identified and developed to help meet specific ACA Standards for Camp Accreditation. Every participant will leave with written documentation that they demonstrate proficiency in the skill, pass a certification course/test (if applicable) and/or have the ability to teach and/or train camp staff/campers.
Each course carries its own fee, in addition to the basic conference registration fee.
Lunch is not included in fee, but additional Saturday and Sunday meal tickets can be purchased.
Registration for the Mid States Camp Conference is NOT required to attend these courses. Contact Stacy Harper at stacy@acail.org for Skills Lab only registration.
We encourage early registration as all courses have limited space.
