A Taste of Camp…

February 4th, 2010

Do you have friends at BB/GB/Amicus that you’ve been trying to encourage to join you at Camp, but without success?  Then we’re organising an event which will be of interest to you…

Come along and join us for an evening of activities designed to give you a taste of Camp. It will include:

  • a taste of Camp food (porridge, cocoa and biscuits)
  • short videos of past Camps
  • games & activities
  • run-through a ‘typical’ Camp day
  • a quick look at Camp themes
  • Q&A – for Campers, Parents & Group leaders
  • a chance to ask questions of campers and staff
  • plenty of time to chat to people who love Camp!

Bring your friends along on Saturday 27th February for the best chance of convincing them to join us at Camp 2010. We’ll be circulating more information to all Companies shortly.

If you have any questions, just ask…

Steph’s Baptism

October 1st, 2009

It’s been a bit quiet here since Camp, but things are about to start moving once again. What better way to start off that by posting a video of Camp’s first ever Baptism. For those who were unable to travel to Folkestone for the special occasion, you can now feel like you were part of it.

Special thanks to Simon Bradley for his excellent work recording and editing the video.

Baptism at Sunny Sands

August 1st, 2009

baptismAt 11 o’clock today the whole Camp will be heading down to Sunny Sands beach in Folkestone, whatever the weather, to witness Steph Dungate’s Baptism.  We will be joined by her parents and some of her friends for this very special occasion.

Steph is a new Christian, and having privately committed herself to follow Jesus, today she is declaring her faith, in front of her family & friends, and publicly through the act of Baptism.

Baptism is a dramatic act which symbolises:

  • Being Born – in John 3:5-6 Jesus speaks of the need to be ‘born of water and the spirit’ in order to see the Kingdom of God.  Baptism represents a spiritual birth.
  • Being Washed – through His death on the cross, Jesus brings about a cleansing of sin and enables us to break free from its guilt and shame.
  • Being Buried & Raised – it symbolises being buried in a grave, then raised to a new life (see Romans 6:3-4).  Baptism marks the end of one life and the beginning of a new one.
  • Being Immersed in the Holy Spirit – when Steph is baptised she will be fully immersed in the water, which represents the realm of the Holy Spirit.  Being in the realm of the Spirit, we have new resources that enable us to live holy lives and to serve God.

What now?

Life's Difficult Questions

February 10th, 2008

One of the things that people over the years have valued most about Camp and, more recently, The Hub, is the opportunity to ask some of life’s difficult questions. Of course none of us have all the answers – but at least together we can explore the questions and hopefully grow and become a little wiser.

But there’s no need to wait until The Hub or Camp before you ask those questions. If you’ve been troubled by one of life’s difficult questions and you’re seeking an answer, here’s your opportunity to ask it.

Add your question as a comment below and we’ll gather them together and either try to answer them online (pointing to other online resources), at The Hub or perhaps at Camp so everyone else can benefit from the discussion.

Ask away…

Note: If your question is a bit sensitive and you don’t want people to know you’ve asked it, then use “Anonymous” as your name and put “question@mk-camp.com” as the email address.
