I'm Directing "Level Up" Summer Youth Camp on April 2010

On April 6-9, 2010, Camp Kabataan, a fellowship of youth organizations and youth ministries, in partnership with Breaking Point Foundation Philippines, will be holding its annual summer youth camp in Mt. Peniel Camp Site, Capas, Tarlac. I have been tasked to direct this year’s summer youth camp and am excited as we set a goal of gathering 900-1000 high school, college students and young professionals.




I will need to sharpen my youthology skills as I will be dealing with many young people. The objective of the summer camps is to train young people in the area of leadership, character building, and excellence using a holistic approach and the word of God as the main source of teaching.

This year’s summer camp is entitled “Level Up” and the theme passage is Titus 3:8, “…Those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.” We hope to challenge the youth who attend to raise the bar of integrity, morality, sexual purity, commitment to serve and goodness. Please help us start praying for the success of this event.

One Day to Go Before Leaving for Camp

After tonight, it’s one more day to go and I am off to Mt. Peniel Camp Site, Capas, Tarlac for the summer youth camp we organized. I must make sure that I pack my things before anything else, making sure that I bring everything I’ll need (toiletries, comfortable clothes and not breeches, my MSI EX400, Bible and some pocket money).

This is the eighth year I have been involved in organizing summer youth camps with participants of about 600-1,200 per week. Yes, there are summers when we hold 2-week camps (1 batch per week), but this year, we settled to just one week and set 800 as our goal. Right now, we have exceeded our goal and hope to just keep it at 900 participants.

Early Monday morning, I will be traveling with an advance team of 54 people composed of different committees that will make the necessary on-site preparations for the youth camp that is entitled “Call of Duty: World at War” (Ephesians 6:1-20) and will be held from April 21-24, 2009. This summer youth camp was organized by churches from different areas of Metro Manila and Rizal known as Camp Kabataan, in cooperation with Breaking Point Foundation Philippines.
