Dive In - Youth Ministry Leadership Camp
Dive In is a leadership camp organized right here in Alberta by youth ministry leaders from various corners of the province, along with the Vocations Office for the Archdiocese of Edmonton.
The camp exists to help train and form youth ages 14-17 with skills they can use in youth ministry, including leading games, prayer, sharing their own stories, and sharing their faith with others. The week includes a strong focus on each young person's own prayer life, with the opportunity to attend daily Mass and adoration, quiet time in prayer, and other Catholic devotions. It is also an experience filled with joy and community, reminding each young person that they aren't alone on their journey of faith.
This year, Dive In will take place at Our Lady of Victory Camp in the week of August 20-24. Please consider personally inviting youth from your parish who you think would benefit from this experience.
Information, printable brochures & posters, and a link to the online registration can be found at www.divein.ca.
If you have any questions, please contact Mike Landry at mike@thirdplaceproject.com.
