The 66-hour Master of Arts in Camping Administration is designed to offer students a Christian perspective on camping and hands-on ministry experience. The student will spend 36 hours on campus at Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary. Eighteen of those hours are theological training in the Seminary and the other 18 are electives at the College specifically chosen as classes that help one to gain critical skills for camping ministry. The other 30 hours are gained by a one year internship at Camp Forest Springs (http://www.campforestsprings.org).
