On-Site Debrief

August 7-10, 2012 (4 days)

Be mentored. Before returning home, you will spend four days debriefing your mission experience back in southern Manitoba. We'll help you process what you learned and begin the journey of integrating our summer experiences into our everyday lives. This is a time to celebrate your experience - to rest, recover and bring closure to your team. Debrief takes a number of forms and occurs during fun activities, solo time, team time and general sessions.

Post-Program Debrief

Your experiences at ACTION will be more than you could have ever experienced in the same time frame at home.  Hence, we strongly encourage you to continue debriefing at home, individually, with your mentor and with your team.  As noted in our Pre-Program Training (Orientation) section, each participant will receive a Goer Guide.  The last four chapters (7-11) of this book guide you in returning home. The chapters highlight common pitfalls of short-term missionaries and how to share your experiences with your family, friends and church.
