Summer camps

Summer is the most intense and central part of our ministry year. During this time, we host a youth camp that begins each morning with outreach initiatives in partnership with the communities and leaders we work with throughout the year.

June

In June, we begin our leadership training program, "Core Team," where participants learn essential leadership and team-building skills. They also familiarise themselves with the summer camp curriculum, which prepares them to lead various aspects of the kids' day camps.

July

In July, youth participants from across the country join us weekly. In the mornings, they assist at the kids' camps by playing and building relationships with the children while supporting the leaders running the program. 

Afternoons are reserved for the youth to rest, prepare for the following day's activities, and enjoy a taste of camp life themselves. This includes special nights, games, worship sessions, and campfires.

August

The camp activities continue until the second week of August, when the youth must return home to get ready for the upcoming school year.
