Often when children are old enough to attend a traditional youth group, they have already committed to other activities . . . leaving your church with only one half, one third, or even one quarter of the church's children attending regularly.

Agapé † Kure Beach Ministries' goal is to keep your youth group strong and growing by laying a foundation for its future members - the 3rd thru 5th graders at your church!

Bring your elementary age kids to Camp Agapé for BYG, a fun community building camp experience. Because most BYG weekends are made up of groups from several churches, your group will have fun interacting with others during different camp activities like, canoeing, crafts, hiking, etc. While you are here, you and your campers will have:

  • Caring college age counselors who will work with group
    leaders and campers to facilitate relationship building
    experiences.

  • Time set aside for group leaders to be with their individual
    groups to plan, reflect, or simply be together.

  • A flexible schedule that allows us to modify activities as
    needed.
