Achievements and performance
Summary of the main During 2024, YCYH we ran two camps in the summer, with these being achievements of the charity the Xcite and Xplore Camps. during the year
In total, we took away 140 people, including 87 campers (ages 7 to 16), 8 Taskforcers (ages 17 to 19), 36 Leaders, 6 Caterers, and 3 Pastoral Support.
These camps involved a wide range of fun activities, for example, cricket; ten pin bowling, kayaking, abseiling, climbing, zip lines, and mountain biking, as well as games and crafts.
There was also Christian teaching and the opportunity for young people to ask questions about a wide range of topics and think about their own faith and relationship with Jesus.
Each of the three young people programmes (Xcite, Xplore and Taskforce), looked at slightly different themes.
The Xcite camp looked at Who Jesus is and considered different aspects of Jesus each day, looking at Jesus being God, as a friend, as Saviour, and as a leader.
The Xplore camp looked at our identity during each evening of camp, following up this with discussions in devotions each morning.
For the Taskforce programme, they looked at Godly Leadership/Foundations of Leadership in the Bible and had some great discussions about the characteristics and actions of these leaders, and how God used them.
The feedback from both the young people and leaders was positive and the trustees were pleased with how the holidays had gone.
