Who are the Deans and what do they do?
The Deans are either priests or Christian educators who volunteer their time and talents for a week at Mikell. They plan a program that is age-appropriate ahead of time, usually with a staff of other volunteers that they have assembled. This program sets the tone for the week and campers address issues at an age-appropriate level. Each spring, the Mikell Director meets with the Deans and we come up with a theme for the summer. Deans can either follow this theme or come up with one of their own. Art activities, skits, small group discussions, videos, talks, etc. are all ways that the deans get their message across. Even though Mikell is a Christian Camp operated by the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, we are open and inclusive to all denominations and religions. Each summer we have a wide variety of campers from different backgrounds, including the Kids 4 Peace. Kids 4 Peace is a program initiated by the College of Jerusalem. Kid 4 Peace is a group of 12 children and advisors from Jerusale
