Teaching All Learners welcomes campers considering a career in teaching as we explore what makes each learner unique and how disciples of Christ can respond to the Imago Dei (image of God) in every learner. Join us for hands-on learning as we discover how the brain is designed, how our experiences form us, and what happens physically, emotionally, and mentally when someone learns something they love. Through on-campus experiences as well as collaboration with community partners, campers will get the chance to see teaching and learning from a new perspective. The camp is open to all aspiring teachers, no matter the grade level or subjects of interest.
