Look at this photo from Wilton Youth Camp (WYC) last year in June. Count the beanies and hands in pockets(ignore the boys in crocs). Camping in June was frost-bitingly cold. So, we changed things. We’ve moved the camp to October, and we’ve given it a new name: WAY AWAY. The theory is that if we rebrand it then no-one will remember the cold.
WAY AWAY 2026: For highschoolers, Friday 2 to Monday 5 October, at the Parnell’s farm in Wilton.
Across the weekend our guest speaker Dan Bishop will take us right through 2 Timothy. The memory verse is “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” (2 Tim 4:8). It’s a timeless and inspiring message of faithful perseverance.
Youth can also expect a plethora of fun and games and food and memories and if we get 25 registrations they’ll also get a slushie machine. 30 regos and we’ll get a full laser tag kit!
Two things you can do. Pray for our leaders, for the youth coming, and for four days of perfect weather. And if you know a high schooler who should be there, register them and make them go!

In Christ, Scott Williams (Assistant Minister)
