Youth camps
For some twenty-five years EFCW camps have been a central part of the Fellowship's work. 'A' and 'B' camps were originally envisaged to provide varying types of Christian Holidays for 11-14 years olds. 'C' Camp came along some 10 years ago in response to a camp population that had grown beyond 14.Many campers in that time came back as leaders, having valued both their time at camps and the ongoing fellowship.
