About KEA CAMPS…
New for Summer 2017, we are delighted to introduce our summer camps for 8-18 year olds. There are three camps aimed at different age groups:
EXPLORERS // 8-11s 6-8 August
TRAILBLAZERS // 12-15s 8-10 August
GROUNDBREAKERS // 16+ 10-12 August
These camps are an opportunity for young people across the diocese to gather for worship, teaching and fun. You can come with your church group, friends or on your own. In the morning and evenings we will have worship and teaching sessions, where we learn about God and His Word. In between there will be lots of fun to be had with games, crafts, chill zone, and a variety of activities. (Depending on the camp these might include watersports, outdoor activities, nightline.) And of course on the last night we’ll have a fire pit and smores!
About the speaker…
Paul O’Neill, the youth worker at Holywood Parish, Co Down, will be our speaker at all 3 camps. Having studied Chemical Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast Paul decided to take a gap year as an intern at St Paul’s Ealing in London. While there he felt the call of God to children’s and youth ministry and from September 2016 has been serving as the youth worker in Holywood. Paul is a gifted communicator and is passionate about seeing the next generation engaged in the local church, growing in their faith and released in their calling and giftings. Paul loves rugby and eating!
During our camps he’ll be teaching on our theme, ‘The way we walk.’ We’ll be learning about some Bible characters who walked closely with God and how we can follow Jesus daily in our lives. We are really excited to have Paul with us and look forward to him opening up God’s Word to us. He’ll also most definitely be up for the banter in all of our activities and fun!
Details…
The cost for the camp is €50/£45. This covers accommodation, food and cost of activities. Campers may want to bring a small amount of pocket money for an onsite tuck shop. Accommodation is in dormitories and you’ll need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow. The closing date for applications is Friday 30th June-we cannot guarantee places after this date! Forms should be returned to Hannah O’Neill, The Gatehouse, Main Street, Killeshandra, Co Cavan.
