THE REGENERATE SOCIETY, INC.
2026 TRAINING CAMP
ROmans 12:4-5: For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Training Camp isn't just a meeting; it's the foundation of everything we build. We don't just ask you to show up—we equip you to serve at whole new level! This is where we align our vision, sharpen our skills, and prepare to provide the platform Birmingham deserves.
If you’re ready to serve, you’re ready to train.
Training Camp showed me that RS isn't just about showing up to an event; it's about understanding the 'why' behind the work. It completely changed how I view community service.
what will camp include?
Spanning across nine weeks of the fall, Training Camp is a combination of interactive learning sessions that teach the prospects about our organization, how we operate as a team, and how to begin unlocking the best version of you!
​
Saturdays are MANDATORY training sessions that set the direction for the prospect's week, which will include supplementary sessions that further develop the prospect's relationship with the team, alumni, and navigating their own journey while in RS.
