FCYC 2023 Registration Open!
Registration for Free Church Youth Camps 2023 is now open.
God willing, there will be 9 camps in summer 2023 and all the information about them (including Team Leaders & Costs) are online.
Free Church Youth Camps are a brilliant week of fun and games, activities, challenges, and lots of tasty food. But most importantly they are a week of discipleship for young Christians in our churches, and an opportunity for young people that aren’t yet Christians to learn more about Jesus and His relevance to their lives. It is amazing to see and hear of the impact the Free Church Youth Camps have had over the last 62 years, please pray with us for that to continue for many years to come.
The registration deadline is Monday 30th January 2023. For a little more info, this short news update gives you more details on the 9 camps on offer. The FCYC website and social media pages will also be posting information about the camps over the registration period.
