This document describes several Bible study curricula and activities for a Christian youth camp. It includes descriptions of the game "Sardines", a hide-and-seek variation where players hide together and the last player to find the hiding spot wins. It also summarizes several Bible study series focused on the book of Jonah called "Whale of a Tale", questions about Jesus' identity called "Who Do You Say that I AM?", developing Christian character through the fruit of the spirit, and a western themed series based on the song "The Great Adventure".

1. Christian Youth Camp -

1. Break up into teams (usually pairs or trios) until
everyone is part of a group. Turn off all the
lights in the building, and send one team to
hide. Give them enough time to hide.
2. Then, everyone goes out to find them.

4. 3. The purpose is to find the team hiding, and then
join them. The game ends when all teams are
hiding together except for the last one.
4. Then, the next to hide is the first team to find
the hidden group.

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!

6. Creative Youth Ideas
Camp Bible Study Series
“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?"

8. "The Great Adventure" is western
themed Bible study series loosely based

their Summer Youth Camp but has since
then proven popular around the world.
