What is a Youth Camp?

Okay, so I admit that I had the wrong interpretation of it at first. Since it had the word “Camp,” I thought it’s going to be more like a camping with a bonfire and all. But then, I was wrong. It was MORE than that. It was GREATER than that. I was truly FULFILLED by this camp. Emotionally and spiritually.

This Youth Camp is no ordinary camping. It’s like we are given a day-off to be closer to ourselves, to others and to God. We had talks and we had group sharings about our experiences afterwards. Then, we also had this “Praisefest” wherein we worship and praise God through different captivating songs. Also, one of the highlights was the E-night. I really don’t know what the whole word stands for but in here, you and your groupmates will showcase your talents through one performance on stage. I was really shy and embarrassed since I’m new there so I didn’t really pay attention to performing. Though, I really enjoyed the other performances. It was a fun-filled night to remember!

A lot more has happened in the camp but I’ll just leave it at that. If you want to know more, why don’t you join and experience it? I guarantee you, you won’t regret joining. You won’t ever feel you’re alone. You’ll also feel that you’re special even with your own imperfections. Most especially, you’ll feel that God loves you and He’s always there for you. No matter what happens.

Before I end this post, I would like to give my special thanks to the people I would mention later on. If it weren’t for them, maybe I won’t really be there and experiencing God’s love for me.

First, I would like to send my deepest gratitude to Jan Salas! Thank you so much for inviting me over to join the Youth Camp. If you weren’t there, I bet I wouldn’t be able to join and have this uplifting experience.

Also, I would like to say my thanks to Vaeda Custodio. After a day, I already gained a new family member. I didn’t really expect I would be able to share my troubles, worries and problems to you. It’s as if God really gave you to me so that you’ll uplift my soul. We share almost the same problems so we both know how it feels to have these burdens. Eventhough you’re younger, I feel that we’re just at the same age. I promise you, your efforts with all the advices you gave to me won’t go to waste. I hope you’ll always be there for me from now on. Thank you so much!

Lastly, to all the friends I’ve gained, thank you to all of you. I feel so blessed right now. I’m blessed to have a new and big family all at once! Words aren’t enough to show how grateful I am to all of you. Thank you, thank you and thank you!

And with that, May God Be Praised! Amen.
