It was the first camp for our young corps - but I doubt it will be the last. Amongst the highlights were the bonfire on the beach during which marshmallows were roasted and songs of worship were sung. For the keen campers and early risers morning devotions on the beach also served to centre our minds on the things that matter most. The opportunity for every person to receive notes of affirmation and encouragement changed the experience of most campers.
The weekend theme was "Encourage One Another" and through a number of interactive sessions and meals together I am in no doubt that people were encouraged. Half our group were members of our community ministries - people who are amongst the marginalised and the lonely - people on the fringes of society - and together with the 'regular' members they learnt and ate and played together.
The Camp was proof again that it is in community and through relationship that lives are transformed - not just impacted - but radically and irreversibly transformed.
