This document describes a scavenger hunt activity for a youth summer camp where teams of youth will go to church members' homes to video or photograph them acting out scenes from the Bible in their front yards. It provides a list of suggested biblical scenes and rules for the scavenger hunt, including awarding prizes to the overall winner as well as for funniest scene, best costume, and more unlikely biblical character.

8. 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!

-> 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?"
