SU CampingWhy Camping?
Camping effectively enables a group of people to form a temporary community which is vital to creating a safe environment for personal and group growth. Relationship building is the key ingredient to enhance this growth process and as comfort zones are often enlarged on camping experiences. The protection created by meaningful relationships is essential to this growth. Scripture Union has always believed and still does believe in earning the right to speak into the lives of young people. We believe that camping creates unique opportunities to build these relationships and also refreshing ways to communicate the Gospel to young people. We have seen an increase in the quantity and quality of Church camps in recent years and Scripture Union encourages the Christian Community to continue this good work to help Christians grow in their spiritual lives and in their capacity to lead the church in the future.
Adventure campingSU belongs to a network of Christian organisations which use adventure as a ministry tool. CAMnet (Christian Adventure Ministry Network) is hosting a workshop in August to train and create further networking opportunities. To join this network email Flip van Staden
SU Camping CentersWe make our camping centres available to other Christian groups when we are not running camps of our own. Some of our camping centres offer programming for school groups and programming advice. To find out which SU camps are being offered in your area contact your local Scripture Union office as these activities are most often coordinated from these offices.
