T2
T2 is a Leadership Discipleship Program. T2 is designed to take individuals who have completed our S-Core Program to the 2nd tier in practical application of their faith. T2 campers will be challenged by lessons, accountability, and one another to develop spiritual habits necessary for a life lived in obedient faith. The program will have a focus on making camper’s faith their own as campers will be stretched past their comfort zones on and off-campus while serving others and pursuing the Lord. The program provides students with an opportunity to serve, to lead, to grow, and to be involved in the ministry of summer camp at a whole other level.
The program will help students learn and apply things in a variety of ways like spiritual disciplines, time management, apologetics, journaling, goal setting, taking initiative, conversation, evangelism, and service. The students that come for T2 will learn from the core values, vision, and mission of Camp Siloam and be an integral part of the ministry of Camp Siloam.
There are limited spots available, so apply now. We will only accept 4 girls and 4 guys for each session.
You must have attended S-CORE to apply.

What will they do at camp?
T2 is a rewarding spiritual, emotional, and personal growth experience with tons of hands-on application. T2 campers will serve in many ways our staff serve. Each day T2 will hold daily small group Bible studies and discussions. In the mornings after their lessons the will help facilitate the recreation games for Color Wars, and each afternoon they will serve under or Food Service Manager as the kitchen staff prepares the meals for camp. At the end of each day they will attend the worship service then meet with their T2 group to debrief and unpack all that God did that day. At the end of each week they will help prepare the camp for a new week.

It also includes the cost of the Capstone Colorado trip. We recommend bringing some extra cash in case you want to purchase items from the camp store or other off-camp trips and outings.
What is the Capstone Trip?
At the end of the summer, the T2 campers from both Session 1 and Session 2 will pack into vans and head off for a trip they will never forget. (The cost of the trip is covered in the T2 fees.)
The team will travel to Buena Vista, Colorado where they will spend a day and a half acclimating to the high altitude. While acclimating, T2 will whitewater raft on the headwaters of the Arkansas River and visit the Royal Gorge. Once acclimated, the team will take multiple hikes in the Sangre De Christo range of the Colorado Rockies. Each night they will return to basecamp retracing all that they saw on their daily adventure while roasting marshmallows over a campfire under the star-filled sky. The team will then make their way back to Camp Siloam and prepare to engage the world with all that God has taught them.
