What youth camp is about?

Some of you who are not so familiar with this term or have never been to such a camp might be wondering deep down in your hearts, what is it really about?

Does the 365 Youth Camp promise fun?
The camp can only be as fun as you want it to be =) I still remember attending my first ever camp back in 2005. There were all kind of weird games - bowling with coconuts, crawling through some maze with flour everywhere. But well, it was all fun =)

Does it promise good friendships?
Try spending 4 days 3 nights with a bunch of whacky people =) It really deepens your friendship, especially during the sharing times at night when we talk about what we hear from God and share our personal struggles. To know that there are other people being in the same situation as we are is so comforting, knowing that you're not alone. Strong bond of friendships are established when we share our hearts. So yea, guess it does promise good friendships. I can testify to that =)

And most importantly, does taking time away from a hectic schedule draw you closer to God?
Don't you get fed up, hearing news of all kinds of terrible things going on in the world everyday and in your own country? I guess taking time off from the "world" is a good thing. Camp is a time when you have less distractions and things to worry about; this gives a conducive environment for God to speak to you. It also gives you a better perspective of God and of His character.

So yea, to sum it up, I would say camp is pretty much about drawing near to God and to build better friendships with your friends. =)
