Post Weekend

Ok; so you just finished an awesome weekend and you want to get involved and continue to learn to be a leader in your church. Camino offers post weekend fellowship and opportunities to work a weekend.

After a Camino Weekend

4th Day Workshop
A 4th Day Workshop is usually held at a work weekend prior to an upcoming Camino weekend. It is for those who have attended a Camino weekend for the first time.
  • Review of the weekend
  • Learn how weekend leaders are selected
  • Learn how weekend teams work together
  • Learn how they can serve on a weekend
  • Attending a 4th Day Workshop is a prerequisite to working a Camino weekend for the first time
Consuno
Consuno is a monthly gathering for those who have attended a Camino weekend and is a great opportunity for worship and fellowship. You can hear testimonies from others on how God has worked in their lives and eat lots of great food

Reunion Groups
Those who have attended a Camino weekend are encouraged to meet regularly with others in small groups to encourage each other in Christian faith. A format for such groups is presented during the weekend.

To find a Reunion group in your area, contact your pastor or we can help.
