We
have been running Christian Summer Camps and Weekend Camps,
since the Summer of 2000. Personally, I have many years
experience of Christian summer camps. I first went to a
BCM summer camp when I was
8 years old, and have been to at least one BCM camp each year
since. I am now camp director at one of BCM's summer teen camps.
The weeks I spent in the summer with other Christian young
people, were some of the best times I had as a Christian young
person.
Despite calling it CAMP, I've never spent a single night in a
tent in all my years at camp :-). We stay in Dormitories or
Cabins, and we sleep in BEDS! The BCM camps I am involved with
are currently held at two venues,
Lapwing Lodge
Scout Camp in Paisley, and South Newton Guide Camp &
Training Centre in Kilmacolm.
Our
camps are run by BCM registered leaders, all of whom have
background checks carried out by Disclosure Scotland or the
equivalent if they are from out with Scotland. Many of our
leaders work in teaching or education, and have a lot of
experience of working with young people.
