Youth Camps
We have a lot of fun in our camps. They are filled with all the normal excitement of the summer camps that you're familiar with... games, laughter, singing, activities, sports, etc.

Bobbing for apples is fun in any language! |
A WWYC Camp also includes a time each day of learning morals, values, and how to live a better life by studying the Bible and applying these concepts to your life. For many of these children, this is the first time they have ever read the Bible for themselves. And each child can bring home their very own Bible in their language to continue studying and sharing with their families.

A mother who had 4 of her children in camp pulled aside our camp director towards the end of one of our summer sessions. She said to him, "it is amazing what you are able to do with kids in this environment. They really listen to you." While visiting our camp over two days, this mother saw her kids being more obedient than she had ever seen them be at home. As she is a friend now with whom we regularly communicate, we can tell you that what was learned in camp is now being applied in their home. This mother is now a huge fan of our organization and the values which we have instilled in her children.
Meeting kids in a context that is comfortable to them and then equipping them to carry out Christ-like character in their world is one of the effects of this ministry's work.
