Achievements and performance
Summary of the main During 2025, 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 78 campers (ages 7 to 16), 6 Taskforcers (ages 17 to 19), 36 Leaders, 6 Caterers, and 4 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 the them of ‘Doing What Jesus did’, in that he prayer, he forgave, and he served, and that we should do likewise.
The Xplore camp looked at the theme of home, considering how God created us to have a relationship with him, to grow in him, to follow him, and to ell others about him. This was looked out through each evening of camp, following up this with discussions in devotions each morning.
For the Taskforce programme, they looked at different trees in the bible, considering Jesus and the Fig Tree, Trees of Eden, The Burning Bush, The Vine, The Parable of the Tenants, The Workers in the Vineyard, and the Last Supper, and how these stories and parables affect the way we should live with God.
The feedback from both the young people and leaders was positive and the trustees were pleased with how the holidays had gone.
