Club is the holy hour in Young Life! We believe that this is true whether it’s a summer day at a Young Life camp or a Monday night in February in your local area during the school year. The same is true for your local area camp!
Everyone that you have invited to pray for camp, has prayed for these words and moments. Every detail that you’ve considered, every task you’ve checked off your list, every follow-up call you’ve made and more- you did all of it so that your friends could be brought to the feet of Jesus!
We know and believe that every element of camp helps our friends experience the gospel and know more fully who God is while our club talks put words to what our friends have been experiencing each day. With this in mind, invite people to be on the club team- a speaker, a program team and people to lead music.
You may be thinking that you could do it or even one of your leaders, but we suggest inviting someone else to play these roles. This allows you and your team to be fully focused on your friends while the club team is fully focused on their message, their humor and their music while getting to know your friends throughout the day.
Cabin Time is a gift that you can give your friends during your camp experience. The structure that is provided while we are at camp is proven to be helpful to all kids so we suggest offering the same structure now. Break your friends into groups with leaders, like you would at camp. Consider who should be together, what relationships leaders already have and how kids will grow together. We also know that our friends all learn differently, so consider working with your speaker to have cabin time boxes for your friends that provide them with tools to engage their senses during cabin time.
In this section, you’ll find a host of great resources for your club team including progression ideas based upon the length of your camp, thoughts from team members who have served in these roles, tools for your speaker, cabin time examples, game ideas and more! You are not limited to these but we hope that they serve as a launchpad for you and your club team.
Finding a Way!
