Simpson County Youth Camp
Simpson County Youth Camp 2024 - June 16-21, 2024!!
Simpson County Youth Camp at Taylor Christian Camp has been held annually since the summer of 1986. So - the 2024 edition of SCYC will officially be 38th year (because 2020 was cancelled). Our week of camp will be Sunday, June 16th to Friday, June 21st. This year’s theme is UNASHAMED and our scripture passage for the week will come from 1 Corinthians 1:27. We will be studying and focusing upon how we as Christians should not be ashamed of the gospel message of Christ. While we are ultimately at camp to study God’s word, we also have a week of fun-filled events planned to make camp a memorable week. Our theme will also have a bit of a Duck Dynasty twist - so bring some camouflage along with you, and get ready to have a “blast”!!

RECAP OF SIMPSON COUNTY YOUTH CAMP 2023 @ Taylor Christian Camp!!!
Simpson County Youth Camp at Taylor Christian Camp has been held annually since the summer of 1986. So - the 2023 edition of SCYC was officially the 36th year (because 2020 was cancelled).
SCYC welcomed 90 young men, 83 young women, and 62 staff members to the cabins and lodge of Taylor Christian! WE HAD A 99% FULL CAMP THIS YEAR - IT WAS A RECORD YEAR!!
It was a little bit of a rough week due to the weather. We had a lot of rain during the week, but it didn't dampen our spirits or our plans to having a great week of camp. We managed and made the proper adjustments to keep everyone on task.
During the week - the kids enjoyed time with one another, fun and games, and lots of learning (either in Bible class or during devotionals) about the chosen theme of the week - CHOSEN. Our theme verse for the week was taken from 1 Peter 2:9.

The highlight for the week of camp is always the glorious site of kids giving their lives to Christ by being baptized! We had eighteen baptisms either at camp or since our return home. We want to congratulate and encourage our new brothers and sisters in Christ.
Welcome our new brothers and sisters in Christ!!

We are always sad that camp is over, but we are also happy to be home. Camp takes a lot of work and the planning for 2024 has already begun! We want to thank our church family for all of the prayers, contributions (physically and monetarily), and especially the parents for entrusting us with your kids.
