It is gratifying that singing Christian songs takes up a large part of our camps. But why is this important and what conditions must be fulfilled so that singing can succeed?

A children's week on the theme of "time travel"

Teenagers can work in an interest group of their choice for a certain period of time. They actively participate and suggest project topics themselves, e.g. foreign cooking

In the new quarter of our EPA season, we are starting a new theme that is all about different short stories. They are related to children or animals that God uses in amazing ways. The next story we will look at will be about John Sr. and his family. Our emphasis will be on the fact that no matter what difficulties we get into, God will not abandon us and he will always be with us.

Even the smallest thing which we consider unimportant can make a huge difference in the world.

I wanted to tackle the meaning of the cross with our church youth group, aged 12+, who are predominently not church-going children.

Below is an outline for a talk which worked really well for us as the framework for an evening around a campfire - taking the group through from an easy introduction to symbols and logos through to a biblical presentation of the meaning of the cross.

We finished the evening with a challenge to the children; to make them think more carefully about the cross and what it means to them. You may want to change this to better suit the type of group you have, and where they are on their spiritual journeys.

We organize a soapbox race with as little effort as possible. This can encourage the teenagers and children to build their own soapboxes.

From a coffee capsule (for example Nespresso) can easily be made an angel for example as a Christmas tree ornament.

This game is all about theatrics, and in the process, everyone wins.

Mentoring in its original form, as practiced by the Greeks, has nothing to do with the Christian faith. However, since the meaning of the word has changed (discipleship would be more appropriate), the word is used in its new sense (extended coaching) in this article.

The principle of mentoring is the principle of multiplication. Paul describes precisely this multiplication to his mentor Timothy and instructs him:

"Pass on the message you have heard from me, the truth of which has been confirmed to you by many witnesses, to trustworthy and reliable people who will also be able to teach others." (1 Tim. 2.4).

Encourage the teens' existing creativity and let it come to the fore by planning, designing and realizing a joint project. It is possible and sensible to let the teens themselves work out the type and execution of a project in the competition. The joint realization of the project should lead to a sense of achievement, which encourages more creative activities (project can be combined with public relations work!)

With the help of craft sheets can create beautiful works of art. The templates can be downloaded as a PDF and printed. Since the templates were created by professionals, you can assume a high quality.

Get to know each other through play and become familiar with each other.

Invitations contain the necessary information about your events, such as meeting place and time. They serve on the one hand to inform your youth about upcoming events and on the other hand as a simple means to invite outsiders.

This book holder is guaranteed to catch the eye and is also very practical and inexpensive, because it prevents the books from falling over.

This is what we live for: All children and young people in Switzerland have the opportunity to hear the gospel in such a way that they can make a decision for Jesus and be encouraged in their discipleship.

The goal of the game is to transport as many letters as possible into his depot, in order to finally be able to lay as good words as possible.
