YP Summer Camp

YP SUMMER CAMP ‘17

Action packed and fun filled YP Summer Camp

During the Young People’s CE camp week we all came together, caught up with old friends and got involved in various activities and looked at God’s promise and how He kept it throughout the Bible. The day began with a morning prayer and thought for the day based on the Fruits of the Spirit followed by arts and crafts, an afternoon activity, our main day activity and the night activity.

We were divided into prayer time groups where we went over the information in detail and discussed with our leader what we had learnt from the day’s lesson and what it had meant.

The main theme of the talks this year was, ‘The Story of the Bible’ where we covered from Genesis to Revelation. The five talks focused on the Fall and Babylon; Abraham and Sarah; Jesus; New Church and the Future Day. Through the talks we looked at how God looked after us and His promises to us.

Each night we helped organise the meeting taking part in leading, doing prayers, readings and drama. On the last night the campers themselves planned and organised the full meeting where we were able to share some of our story and how God works in our lives.

The week was filled with laugher and fun. Each day we went somewhere different such as Coleraine jet centre and did bowling, coasteering in Portrush, team building in Coleraine where we were given the task of buying the heaviest object with £1, carrying a egg around without cracking it and the Portrush photo challenge. There was also a trip to the beach where we played sports and were blessed to get a good day for that. Our night activity included water and egg roulette and here we were guaranteed to get wet!

Going to CE camp we got to meet new people and also to share God’s Word throughout the week.
