Preparing for Camp with ProPresenter

Camp is one of the most impactful weeks of the year. Between fast-moving schedules, rehearsals, and special events, the last thing you want is to rebuild slides on-site or scramble to get your presentations ready. The key to a smooth week is preparation.

You don’t have to do it alone.

One of the best ways to lighten the load and build excitement is to involve your students early. Instead of handling every slide yourself, invite them into the process. Let them help design your camp slides!

Not only does this save you time, it gives students a sense of ownership before camp even begins.

Turn your students into creators.

ProPresenter is free to download on any computer, which makes it incredibly easy to get students involved, no matter where they are. Gather a core group of students and give them a simple mission: help build camp.

They can:

• Create worship presentations
• Design slides for rec games or announcements
• Build out Bible study visuals
• Experiment with different looks and layouts

You don’t need a full production team, just a few students who are willing to learn and contribute. Sit down with them, walk through the basics, and let them start creating.

Give them freedom (with a few guardrails).

When it comes to design, you have options. You can give students full creative freedom and let them run with their ideas, or you can provide a simple brand guide to keep things consistent. This might include:

• A few pre-approved fonts
• A set of worship backgrounds
• Color palettes that match your camp theme
• Example slides to follow

This balance helps students feel creative while still ensuring everything looks cohesive on screen. It also gives them confidence since they’re not starting from scratch, they’re building within a framework.

Setup made simple with exporting.

Once your presentations are ready, the final step is getting them onto your camp computer. Thankfully, this part is simple. Export your presentations and import them onto your Camp ProPresenter computer.

Ownership changes everything.

When students are part of the process, something shifts. They become more engaged, invested and excited. Camp becomes more than just an event they attend, but something they helped create. And when they see their slides during worship or throughout the week, it builds confidence and pride in a really meaningful way.
