PEAK EXPERIENCES I love going on camps. Always have. There’s something about getting away from your usual routines and environment. I look back on the camps I went on as a teenager, the friends I made and the significant times with God that were had both corporately and individually. They were formative faith times for me. These days, I must admit I also appreciate not having to think about meals or family schedules. It’s so great to just turn up to the dining hall and eat whatever’s on offer. Having directed so many camps in the past I’m also very happy for others to organise everything, and for me to just join in. Camps are peak experiences—times that you look back on as being significant. They are a highlight experience that give you the opportunity to encounter God in deep and life-changing ways. Camps are also one of the strategies for quality faith formation in our Thrive programme. In this edition of the WAY2GO magazine, we’ll look at the benefits of peak experiences when it comes to faith formation for our children and families, and how we can incorporate them into our planning.
