Commitment to Schedule is Essential

Your commitment to sticking to the schedule is essential for the success of the weekend for everyone. It will certainly impact how much you get out of it. It will also inspire or discourage other attendees who are trying to keep the schedule. We know from experience.

Before registering for a Camp Kaio, read the schedule to be sure you understand the scope and objectives and that you are committed to it. Other weekends have a more recreation focus and they are important, too, but this is not that weekend.

We've also listed some examples of how to plan your study sessions.

Planning your study sessions

You will find it very helpful to write out a tentative plan of what you will study in each session so that you don't waste time or become discouraged trying to figure it out at the weekend.

Your plan should include a variety of study types, such as:

  • prayer & meditation
  • personal Bible study (be specific: topic, theme, character, book, chapter, etc)
  • Bible marking
  • listening to audio classes (choose specific series. Download in advance if there is no wifi at event location)
  • reading Christadelphian books
  • etc.

Placement on your schedule should correspond to your anticipated alertness for the different study times (ex. early morning vs after lunch vs late evening).

Your plan may completely change once the weekend starts, and that is ok! You might stumble upon a golden thread early on and spend the entire weekend chasing it down. Alternatively, you may hit a brick wall on one topic and need to change gears to keep your enthusiasm up.

What and how you do your Bible study is completely up to you. No one will be checking on you and it is more about the focussed time, the mind immersed in spiritual things, and less about 'finding something new'.
