Youth & YoungAdult CampMeetingItaly 2026
4–9 August 2026
A summer set apart
for the next generation
For six days on the Adriatic coast, the Euro-Ghanaian Adventist Congregation gathers its youth and young adults for worship, teaching, fellowship and rest. It is a chance to step away from the noise, be renewed in faith, and build friendships that last well beyond the summer.
“Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.”Revelation 3:11

Announcements
A few important things to prepare for and get involved in during our week together.
A group day trip to Venice on Thursday, 09:00 – 17:30, travelling by public transport. The trip is self-funded. Register so the team knows who is coming and can plan the journey.
Held with the adults on Friday evening. Come prepared for a reverent, meaningful time.
Every camper who owns a Youth/Pathfinder uniform is asked to bring and wear it. Let's represent with pride and unity.
We close the day with a joyful concert and social night, celebrating our culture together.
Don't forget to bring:
Everyone who'd like to join the choir and/or music team is very welcome.
Want to help in any of these departments? Let us know.
Whether you sing, play an instrument, or do spoken word, let us know and we'll include you in the programme. Let's use the gifts God has so freely given us.
Join the WhatsApp group chat for real-time updates throughout the camp meeting.
Camp guidelines
Like every camp meeting, our primary purpose is not comfort or convenience, but spiritual renewal, Christian fellowship, and a deeper walk with Christ. Every effort has been made to provide a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable environment for all campers.
As representatives of Christ and His church, all campers are expected to dress modestly, respectfully and appropriately throughout the camp meeting.
- Clothing should be modest, neat, and in harmony with Christian principles.
- Skirts and dresses should be at or below the knee.
- Transparent, revealing, tight-fitting, or excessively low-cut clothing is not appropriate.
- Midriffs, undergarments, and inappropriate body exposure should remain fully covered.
- Sabbath attire should be formal, dignified and suitable for worship.
- Let our appearance reflect our commitment to honouring God in every aspect of our lives.
Upon arrival, each church camp meeting coordinator should report to the designated registration desk to register all campers from their congregation and collect the church registration pack. This pack will include ID badges, camp meeting programme booklet and other relevant materials.
All campers are required to wear their official camp meeting ID badge at all times. This helps with identification, enhances security, and encourages fellowship among participants.
All campers and guests are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the beliefs, values, and lifestyle of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Let every word, attitude, and action honour Christ and contribute positively to the spiritual atmosphere of the camp.
Parents, guardians, and carers are responsible for the supervision and conduct of their children throughout the camp meeting. Children should not be allowed to wander around the campus unsupervised.
Campers are expected to attend all scheduled meetings punctually and participate reverently. Please help maintain a worshipful atmosphere through active participation, respectful silence when appropriate, and careful attention during all services and programmes.
Please help us care for the accommodation, dining facilities, meeting venues, and campus grounds. Treat all properties with respect and leave facilities clean and orderly. Any individual responsible for damage to property may be required to cover the cost of repairs or replacement.
To preserve a peaceful and spiritually uplifting environment, campers are encouraged to maintain an attitude of prayer, reflection, and consideration for others, especially during designated quiet hours. Please avoid unnecessary noise that may disturb fellow campers.
Our camp meeting team is committed to making your stay enjoyable. If you require assistance or have suggestions or special requests, please speak first with your local church coordinator, elder, or pastor, who will liaise with the appropriate camp meeting officer.
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
