1944 - 2024

We Celebrated 80 years.

The Event.

27th July 2024

Isle of Purbeck

12pm - 5pm

About 150 of us enjoyed a ploughman’s lunch, worship and celebration as we came together to look back and look forwards at all God has done through the years at H&DCYC.

This event was held on the campsite making good use of the two new marquees that have been bought with the help of a generous legacy.

Many thanks to the 80th Team who made it possible.

We spent time together over food and remembered the amazing work many, many people have put in over the years. There were energetic activities for younger ones and also an area with memories from the past - photos/videos/artefacts etc. and a time of praise and worship. Our trustees were also on hand, letting us know the future of our camps with God at the helm.

Gordon Reed wrote ‘A History of the Hants and Dorset Christian Youth Camps’ and he quite rightly gave it the title of ‘Immeasurably More’. This comes from Ephesians 3 v 20-21...

‘Now to Him, who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen’
