This summers training Schedule took me to Omaha NE. for a six day training camp. I was joined for the week by fellow trainers John and Gael Ostenson and our Host Couple Kent & Sharon Mutschler. Sara Swansen spoke our first day as our specialist on child abuse issues. We had 12 trainees from 5 different churches in Nebraska, Colorado, Illinois, and our first training group from Wyoming. It rained a little bit every day but it didn’t dampen our spirits. We were there to teach and inspire, rain or shine. It was really a great week getting to know the trainees and having a great experience with the host camp from Omaha, NE. The facility Directors are also RFKC Directors and have 5 different Royal Family Kids’ Camps at that facility during the summer. Great people, doing great work making a great difference in the lives of kids all across the county.
Here’s a short video clip showing some of the events of the week.
Passing the Scepter Training 2009 Costa Mesa CA
This summer I was able to train in my first “Passing the Scepter” class for RFKC. We have 2 different versions of camp training. Brand new camps with no experience go to “Directors Training”. When an existing camp needs a new Director or extra help they go to our “Passing the Scepter” training class designed for people who already have Royal Family experience, but now they need the in depth training to go with. So this year I had the honorable pleasure of training with my office mate, Glenn Garvin. Glenn and I have worked together for 3 years now and this was our first time to train together. We were assisted by our Host Couple Darryl & Linda Fisher. We had 11 trainees from 8 different camps learning how to direct a RFKC. The group was fabulous and funny. After laboriously training and observing all day we had some great social times in the evenings in the camps game center.

These 13 camps, represented by 13 churches, now have the potential to go back and take around 500 kids to camp. 500 kids!!! Your financial support and prayer support help make that possible. Thanks for your investment in the lives of these kids.
