The goal of this week is to build deeper relationships with teens so that we can share the gospel with them – through our actions, through being with them as they hear the speaker, through leading small group, and through having conversations. To that end, your goal should be to get to know your kids well, love them well, and be with them throughout the week.

Euroventure is a “leader-centered camp” which means almost everything revolves around you with your kids. You sit with them at meals and during each celebration. You do each activity together as a team. You do the all-camp games with them. You lead the small group discussions. Because of all of this, we want to make sure you’re prepared!

All leaders must read the document below, watch the video and complete the form.
