The Synod Youth Leaders' Adventure Camp was held from the 20th – 21st January 2006 at Jubilee Presbyterian Church. This was a milestone event organized by the Synod Youth Council as it sought to bring together members from different Presbyterian Churches from all over Singapore for a youth leadership camp for the first time ever.
Glory Presbyterian Church’s Youth Fellowship sent out a total of 18 youths and 7 coaches to attend the camp, and our dominating presence was represented by our sheer number as compared to the other churches. Nevertheless, we had a great time of bonding and interaction as we got to know the other church youths better.
The camp focused a lot of leadership, and especially the concept of leadership in a church environment. This was covered in a series of talks, and was particularly useful to the people who attended as they were preparing themselves for service as leaders in the youth ministry for the coming year of 2006.
The talks were complemented by a night of challenging brainstorming games as well as the highlight of the camp- an adventure obstacle course as Sentosa. We were put through a series of obstacles that required us to work as a team. From balancing a plank in unison as a team, to supporting each other physically as we crossed obstacles via think steel cables, we worked together as a church and successfully completed all the obstacles. The final obstacle was a challenge to scale a 5-metre wall, and to get every single person up on the wall. As a camp we worked together relentlessly and after one grueling hour, we completed the task!
There were many valuable take-aways from this particular camp, especially in aspects of team-bonding and leadership. The TLs, ATLs, coaches and ministry heads were definitely well-equipped with the knowledge and zest for service in the Lord’s ministry in the year ahead!
