5 Reasons You NEED to Hire a Speaker for Camp Next Year (updated)


Just finished a week of camp and wondering if you should hire out the speaking next year? Here are five reasons you SHOULD consider hiring a youth speaker for your next event:

1. Your students need to hear a different voice.

The students in your ministry hear you... a lot. Bringing in an outside speaker allows your students to hear a different voice.

2. You want your event to be memorable.

Many times, outside youth speakers share messages that your students will never forget. Think back to memorable speakers you heard when you were a teenager. Which messages do you remember? Hiring an outside speaker can take your camp from good to great.

3. A speaker can say things that you cannot.

Utilize your camp speaker to share hard truth. They are there for the week and then gone. Students will sometimes be more open to hearing hard truth from an outsider than from you.

4. A seasoned youth speaker can reinforce your vision.

Ask your camp speaker to take time to share your student ministry vision in a creative way. A strong youth communicator can deliver your vision in a new and creative way that your students will remember.

5. You will reach a different genre of students.

John Maxwell's law of magnetism states that we attract those who are like us. The same law applies to youth communicators. Students who are most like you will connect with you the most when you speak. When you bring in an outside speaker, you broaden the different types of students who will be reached at your event.
