SUMMER MADNESS 17

30 JUNE - 4 JULY, GLENARM From across the island of Ireland over 2,000 young people gather together to enjoy great worship, teaching and activities together.

Summer Madness exists to enthuse, equip and engage the youth and young adults of Ireland in the Christian faith so that they may be real change makers in their churches and communities. God is tangibly at work changing lives and inspiring the next generation. You'll find in this flier all the essentials to get to SM17, what a typical day looks like, what you'll need to bring with you and a form to return to your youth leader to get you booked in!

My heart has been changed, it was the best five days of my life!

A Day in the life of Madness So you're interested in coming to Summer Madness but not sure what the week is going to look like? Check out our guide to a typical day below. But don't feel restricted by this, Summer Madness is a place to create a new rhythm, meet some new friends and engage with your loving God. These are just some structures to help facilitate this.

8am Emerge from your tent well rested and ready for the day. While you make use of the hot showers available in sub camp your group leader will prepare a nutritious breakfast to help fuel your day (If you follow your nose though you might make your way to the Christian Aid tent and treat yourself to a bacon buttie).

10am Head to the Big Top with your group for the morning session of worship and teaching.

This is followed by group discussion and Q&A with the speaker. We also offer prayer ministry at these sessions. If Big Top isn’t for you then head to the YFC venue for a more informal hang out space.

12pm After the morning session you can check out the exhibition area and chat to our mission and partner agencies from across Ireland and the world. This is open all afternoon until the evening session as well if you miss them now. It’s important to fuel up again before a busy afternoon of seminars and activities. You can either do this over your leaders mini-stove back in the sub camp or make use of one of our mobile food vendors.

2-6pm The afternoon is yours to do with as you please. We have over 100 hours of seminar and activities on offer. With seminars covering a breadth of topics you'll find some that perk your interest. And we have a wealth of activities to choose from including canoeing, sailing, football, dodgeball, slip ‘n’ slide and ultimate Frisbee. And if you’re just looking somewhere to chill there’s a couple of venues with a coffee and couch combo.

6pm As the afternoon fades away gather your group back together for dinner and hear what everyone got up to in the afternoon.

Don’t worry if you missed a seminar or two – they’re all recorded and available to buy at the end of the conference for £10.

7pm Head back to the Big Top or YFC venue for our evening session starting at 7pm.

9pm As the Big Top empties our evening venues fill up. Here, you can enjoy a variety of live music or grab a coffee and a chat with your mates.

11:30pm The venues go to bed for the night and so do you! Because it all starts again tomorrow morning bright and early. Our roving security team stay up during the night so give them a smile and a hug when you see them in the morning.
