— Important Requirements
Adult + Staff Requirements & Lead Team
All adults and staff participating in Revive events are required to meet the following standards. These requirements exist to ensure the safety, spiritual integrity, and excellence of every Revive camp and retreat.
Ministry Safe Certified
All adults who participate in Revive activities must be Ministry Safe certified (or the equivalent) and bring proof of certification. Adults must be above reproach and be growing disciples of Jesus Christ without question.
Each conference or church must require its own adult youth safety training to be completed every 2 years. Revive accepts any training approved by your Methodist Church conference or denomination or, if non-Methodist, as approved by the State of Texas for overnight camps with children and youth.
Background Check
All adults who participate in Revive activities must complete a background check and bring proof of completion. Adults must be above reproach and be growing disciples of Jesus Christ without question.
Right to Refuse Admission
Revive reserves the right to refuse admission to any adult who does not meet these requirements.
Payment and Registration
All adults must pay the full price of the event and complete an online registration with their church group.
Sponsor Ratio
Church Groups must bring adults to help with supervision, rooming, and small groups. Requirements include 1 to 5 adult to child at Children’s Camp (grades 3rd–6th) and 1 to 8 adult to youth at Youth Camp (grades 6th–12th). Churches should strive to represent both genders in sponsor representation and supervision of campers.
Revive Camps are “group” camps. Individual campers will be paired with a church group, and are the exception. If you are an individual camper interested in attending but do not have a home church, please reach out to us.
Lead Team
Lead Team includes “called” high school students who have applied and been accepted to serve at the children’s and youth camps alongside adult sponsors. This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to serve in ministry! Students must be ages 16 to 21 and be a mature follower of Jesus. Lead Team pays half of the regular camp registration fee.
Space is limited and applying for this student leadership team doesn’t automatically guarantee acceptance.
Thanks for your interest in serving at Revive!
