Christian Leadership Youth Camp
Each year, the Haitian teens in our sponsorship program are invited to attend Christian leadership youth camps. These summer camps include time for devotionals, discussion groups, and recreational activities for about 180 sponsored Haitian teens. The goal is to encourage and equip them to become mature Christian leaders in their homes, churches, and communities.
Whoever is kind to the needy honors God
– Proverbs 14:31
Community
Campers are physically separated from the powerful influences of their home environment and are immersed in a contrasting, Christ-centerd, loving community.
Relationships
The activities of daily camp life teach valuable social skills. The bonding that occurs through playing, worshiping, facing challenges, and learning together internalizes values taught and translates experience into character formation.
Leadership
At camp, teens are paired with a Haitian young adult team counselor to lead their small group. Camps are ideal nuturing environments for developing leaders for church and society.
Christian Values
Leadership camps powerfully communicate spiritual truths and spur spiritual growth among campers as they spend time in the midst of God’s creation, participate in Bible studies, worship, play, relax, and take time to reflect.
