2017 Catechist Camp

2017 Catechist Camp:
We invite all DREs, catechists, Catholic school teachers and parents to join us for a day of Catechist Camp in August.  In last year’s Catechist Camp, we introduced the work of LifelongFaith Associates in “Re-Imagining Faith Formation for the 21st Century.”  This year’s Catechist Camp will provide two different Innovation Labs, designed and facilitated through LifelongFaith Associates.  Choose the Camp topic which is most beneficial for you:
  Digitally Enabled Faith Formation Workshop (presented by Jim Merhaut): Using Digitally Enabled and Digitally Connected Tools, Methods, and Resources in Faith Formation with All Ages
This workshop selects and presents the best approaches for integrating digital strategies into faith formation. Learn how to use digital tools, methods, and resources that are best suited for faith formation with all ages and generations. Discover where you can find great digital tools and curate digital faith formation resources. Each participant will design and implement new or enhanced programming that utilizes digital tools and methods.
  Faith Formation for Every Adult in the Congregation Workshop (presented by Sr. Janet Schaeffler)
It’s possible today to provide vibrant faith formation for all adults—young adults, midlife adults, mature adults, and older adults in a congregation by building a digital platform, using digital tools and methods, and curating great resources. The abundance of high quality digital media for adults, and the new online and digital tools and technologies makes it possible to develop adult faith formation that engages every adult around their interests, concerns, questions, and spiritual and faith journeys. This workshop explores how to develop an adult faith formation plan for the stages of adulthood and for the diverse spiritual and religious of adults today.
