Camp Cameroon, July 8-15

This year our Cameroon youth camp took place from July 8 to July 15 at the Vitaparcours complex in the city of Douala. The climate had changed quite a bit, and the rainy season came prematurely, which prevented us from camping in the botanical garden, the park in Limbe or the Vitaparcours, as the city of Limbe and Douala have the same climate and the same rain! We finally ended up camping in our church complex and went every morning to the Vitaparcours where we rented other buildings. A total of 16 young people and seven coaches, including two from Nigeria, attended the camp in Cameroon. The theme of our camp was “discovering true values​​.” Peace, joy and harmony were present.

The Vitaparcours complex we use is an obstacle course with a 2,700-meter runway and several buildings allowing a variety of activities to take place according to each person’s individual abilities.

Sabbath evening, we had several activities including a game of questions and answers on biblical subjects and several skits. To conclude, we had our traditional dances and the distribution of prizes to encourage our young people.

We express our gratitude to all those who have directly or indirectly made ​​it possible for this camp to take place.
