WHAT IS SYC?

"Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

- Matthew 4:19

S.Y.C. stands for "Summer Youth Celebration" and it is a week long camp every August for youth who have completed Gr. 7 to Gr. 12. The week includes interactive small groups, lots of recreation activities, worship, Bible teaching and creative arts!

SYC CAMP IN ACTION

SYC 2023 Theme

RIPTIDE

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2)

Our culture tells us to go one way, and the culture of Jesus commands us to go another way. What happens when that clashes - how do you go about that? Come and join us in rediscovering what it means to be countercultural in the goodness of God's good news.

WHAT GOES ON @ SYC

Many things happen during the week of camp. Here is a snapshot of some activities and events that occur during our week at Gardom Lake.

GAMES & ELECTIVES

The 5 Days at SYC is ultra-packed with activities ranging from active events such as archery, paddle boarding, rock climbing, and giant water fight to more cerebral ones like crafts, worship, prayer walk, and more!

SMALL GROUPS

SYC is also about building new friendships and strengthening existing ones. Each day includes a small group time where we grow and study God's Word together in your age cohort.

FEATURED
EVENTS

Evenings at SYC are often a highlight, which features nightly events including a camp-wide night game, team challenges, all-inclusive talent show, bonfire sharing, and late night social.

MAIN SESSIONS

SYC is not complete without our daily worship and main sessions. We get to engage in worship and reflect on relevant youth topics led by our featured morning and evening speakers.

ALWAYS INNOVATE

SYC always looks into ways to enhance our youths' experiences

We always ensure that the youths who join us have the best opportunities to thrive in new friendships, to rejuvenate in God's creation, and to ignite a passion for Christ. We are always looking for others to join our ranks in making such a vision a sustainable reality!

I still remember crying two years ago because I didn't want to go to SYC. Little did I know that week would be amazing and rekindle my relationship with God. Wouldn't trade that for anything, and SYC would easily be the highlight of my summer!
