What to do
1. Organize the youth into a
circle facing outward with
siblings standing together.
2. Organize the parents into a
larger circle around the
youth with spouses
standing together. Parents
should be facing their
children in the inner circle.
If some of the parents of
the youth are not at the
meeting designate
sponsors as temporary
parents.

3. On “Go” parents will rotate
their circle by walking
clockwise whereas the youth
will rotate their circle walking
counter clockwise.
4. When you yell out “Family
Portrait” youth and parents
must find each other as quickly
as possible and line up
together cheek to cheek
grinning. (You might want to
have some photographers
around to take a few fun
photos.)

5. The last family to line up
cheek to cheek is
eliminated from the
circle and the game
continues.
6. Continue to play until
there is only one family
left. Declare them the
winners!

5. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"

written for a large Texas Church to use for
their Summer Youth Camp but has since
then proven popular around the world.
