This document describes a scavenger hunt activity for a youth camp. Participants will have 1 hour to find objects listed in Bible verses. For each minute late, their score is penalized by 1 item. The team that finds the most items after adjusting for penalties or time wins. After the activity, leaders will discuss how hiding God's word in our hearts is like finding a treasure, as described in Proverbs 2:1-5.

For each minute you are late you are
penalized by one item so that the group
that finds the most items (-#minutes they
are late) wins! In case of a tie, the team
back first wins.
Example: Gen 45: 26 They told him, “Joseph
is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.”
Jacob was stunned; he did not believe
them.

Debrief
When youth return, have a Bible
with a “book mark” in it and
Proverbs 2:1-5 highlighted. God’s
Word hidden in our hearts is as a
treasure. By following the Bible’s
instructions, we come to know God
and live for him.

7. 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!

Camp Bible Study Series
“Who Do You Say that I AM?”
www.creativeyouthideas.com/resources/whodoyousay.html
-> 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?"

10. "The Great Adventure" is western
themed Bible study series loosely based
around the song of the same name by
Steven Curtis Chapman. It was initially
written for a large Texas Church to use for
their Summer Youth Camp but has since
then proven popular around the world.
