| Just as a week of nutritious meals nourishes ones
physical body, so a week of feasting upon the word of God nourishes ones spiritual
being. Great effort is made to recruit teachers and team leaders who
are spiritually mature and dedicated to teaching Christian attributes such as honesty,
self-control, humility, unselfishness and patience. Campers, especially at youth camps,
learn the value of diligence and team work during times of organized recreation.
The camp is equipped with a full-size softball/soccer field, a sand-filled volleyball
court, regulation-size basketball half-court, tetherball poles, and horse shoe pits. These
things and the surrounding mountains provide ample opportunity for exercise and positive
relationship-building.
Small children have sturdy wooden playground equipment and four-square slabs on which
they enjoy many hours of playing, climbing, swinging and sliding.
Fellowship and recreation are wonderful but the biggest benefit of
a YBC experience is found in drawing closer to God. There is something about being
away from the busy, noisy life of the city that is conducive to meditation, Bible study,
and prayer. Added to that are numerous opportunities to worship and sing praises
either before classes or while gathered around the flickering flames of the
centrally-located campfire.
Many campers testify that a week at Yellowstone Bible Camp is a
life-changing, spiritually exhilarating experience. They return to their homes ready to
serve their fellowman and walk daily with their Lord. |
