Spiritual and Leadership Training (SaLT)

The SaLT program is for teens ages 15-18 and is designed to help guide and train you to be a better leader in your schools and communities as well as in the next step to becoming a counselor here at Fair Haven. This program will also be offered in two, 3 week sessions and will cost $225.00. This cost will cover your room and meals, study materials and training during your 3 week session.

SaLT will also have a director overseeing their training. The SaLT Director will report to the East/West Directors and will lead the students in Bible study training, learning to assist with various activity classes, as well as learning the importance of having not only personal devotions, but how to lead cabin devotions with campers. You will have the opportunity to have firsthand experience in the cabin during part of your training, as counselor assistants. Those successfully completing their training, and upon the recommendation of their Director, will have the opportunity to apply for a Junior Counselor position.

Completion of this program does not guarantee a position at Fair Haven, but is required to apply for a Junior  Counselor position.

Last year’s SaLT graduates now have the opportunity to apply for Junior Counselor Positions for this summer. Please note that taking part in the CST program is not necessary to be in the SaLT program, though you can do both in one summer. However, CST’s will not be considered for a Junior Counselor position until they have participated in the SaLT program.
