Summer Camps 2023
At Baptist Youth, we believe there is something special about camps. Having the opportunity to spend a whole week learning from God's Word, connecting with new friends and having a LOT of fun - there is no doubt that camps changes lives!
FANCY COMING ALONG?
Each year, we have hundreds of children and young people attend one of the wide variety of BY camps on offer. Whether you are 8 years old, or even 68 years old, you can be involved in our camp experience! In 2022 we have children's camps, a pre teens camp and a teens camp, as well as a soccer camp! Please ensure you have read this entire web page (including the important information adn personal data section below) before downloading and completing the application form.
Camper applications will go live on Sunday 29th January at 3pm. After then, you can book a place on camp by clicking here
OVER 18? WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
Behind every great camp is a great team of volunteers. These volunteers are from all walks of life. The one thing that unites each of our volunteers , however, is that they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A rigorous process of application in line with BY's child protection policy is undertaken for all the officers on our camps (copies of the policy are available by contacting Baptist Youth).
