The Great Discovery Youth Camps have been taking place in Haiti since 1979. Each year Christian World Outreach (CWO) conducts two Great Discovery Camps in different rural locations of Haiti. The camps are four or five days long and geared to youth ages 15-30 years of age. There is no charge to the 200 to 250 attendees who have been invited to participate in the camps. The goals of the camp are to engage young people, educate them about the salvation message and to provide an opportunity for them to accept Christ. Each day begins and ends with a chapel service sharing the Gospel message. Throughout the day there are seminars on topics such as how to choose a mate, biblical sexuality, marriage, raising children and others. There are also fun activities such as soccer, games, and other activities that appeal to youth. Part of CWO's relationship with our partner churches is to educate and train the pastors and leaders. The Great Discovery Youth Camps allow our partner churches to put into practice the training they receive during Leadership Training, which are many times held simultaneously. Once the camps are completed the church leaders and pastors can then disciple and mentor the youth so that they are not sent back to their home environments without the support of a local church.
