As an affiliate of Christian Camping International (CCI Worldwide), CCSA members are connected to a global network of Christian camping associations, organisations and leaders across dozens of countries.

CCSA members can participate in international leadership development opportunities through CCI, including the Global Leadership Programme (GLP), with pathways designed for both emerging and experienced leaders.

Members can also benefit from access to international training, leadership exchanges, global conferences and networking opportunities, as well as international employment and ministry opportunities advertised through the CCI network. These connections help CCSA members broaden their experience, develop leaders and become part of the wider mission of Christian camping around the world.
Through CCI connections, members may also discover opportunities such as programmes and training at HoneyRock, the Center for Leadership Development of Wheaton College, including summer programmes, leadership development and opportunities for emerging professionals in outdoor and adventure ministry.
