Boys' Football Camp

Scripture Union - Sorry we're full!!
To be confirmed17 Aug - 21 Aug11 - 14 Years£110

Leader

Kyle Alexander

Information

It's hard to believe this is the fourth year of SU Football Camp.  It's also hard to believe that Fernando Torres is worth 50 million or Andy Carroll is worth 30 million...but believe it or not, all are true!  It you're football crazy with a huge appetite for fun then the SU Boys Football Camp is where you've got to be this summer.  Located in an "exotic" training camp in the height of the Northern Irish summer, you're guaranteed several things.  Probably rain...but more importantly the chance to meet loads of guys and leaders with a similar love for the game, enjoy some high quality coaching, hear the stories of various special guests and leave with a clearer knowledge of who Jesus is and what that means for each of us today.  It's hard to believe, but Football Camp 2012 promises to be bigger, better and more action packed than 2011!  Make sure you're a part of it!

It's Your Move

If you are 16 - 18 and want to volunteer at an SU activity with a twist then check out It's Your Move!

It's Your Move is for those who are looking for a little bit more!  It's for those who have a desire to grow more in their own character and abilities - to learn more about leading and then have the opportunity to lead at either a camp for a group of about 60 children or a mission where the focus is on starting something new.

The camp/mission combo will run for 8 days - starting on Saturday morning and finishing late Saturday afternoon.  We will train you up for the first 4 days and then your task for the second half of the week supported by older leaders, will be to run either the camp or the mission.  

The group will be split into 2-

Half of the group will run a children and youth mission in Millburn, Coleraine.

Half will stay at Castlewellan to run a 4day camp for pupils just leaving P7.  The move to secondary school is huge and we want to help these children grow in confidence in Jesus.  This camp will be aimed at helping them with this significant transition.

This is a fantastic opportunity - to learn, be stretched and to serve; to put your faith into action and to help those younger than you to grow in confidence.
