Camp isn’t just for teens! The Texas Preteen Camp ran from July 25 to 29. Preteen campers enjoyed daily activities like archery, paddle boarding, Gaga Ball (of course!), Derby Car building, swimming, and Christian Living. A great time was had by all, and our thanks to all who made the Texas Preteen Camp happen this year! We hope you enjoy these pictures, and we plan to post more soon from additional Living Youth preteen camps that took place around the country this year, so stay tuned.
On today’s podcast, we discuss the pressures on boys and girls (and on young men and young women) to ignore the differences in the two sexes God created and to adopt a confusing, self-destructive worldview. Huge forces in society are seeking to rob from you the joys of embracing the gender God designed you to be. Don’t let them do it! We hope this podcast helps.

As tired as they may have been, Mr. Gerald Weston and Mr. Jonathan McNair were willing to sit down with us only a couple of days after returning from the 2022 LYP Texas Teen Camp and to talk about the experience, including the kinds of things they seek to achieve at our camps and how to get the most out of them. We hope you enjoy it! The YouTube version is below, and the Spotify link is right below that.

We don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the Living Church News occasionally publishes a feature called “Woman to Woman.” Written by a woman in God’s Church, it is meant to help fulfill Paul’s admonition to older or more experienced ladies, recorded in Titus 2:4–5, that they pass down wisdom in godly femininity and womanhood to younger ladies in the Church. As a sample, we hope you’ll consider reading the recent contribution from Mrs. Janth B. English, linked to below, titled “‘Submission’ Is Not a Dirty Word.” It definitely runs counter to the advice about being a woman you will get from many popular “authorities” these days, but it is rooted in the loving advice of your Creator who wants you to become the sort of woman He designed you to be.

We’re back for one more post! We apologize for the delay—after the last Sabbath at camp, things went so quickly and we were so busy that posting photos had to take second place. But now that everyone is back, safe and sound, it’s time for one more post of pics! These final pictures feature campers entertaining their camp-mates at the talent show, some photos from the last Sabbath service, and pictures of the dorms, all gussied up for the final banquet and dance. This year’s camp was a blast, and we pray that everyone—both campers and staff—arrived home with minds filled with good memories, uplifting lessons, and thoughts of their new friends. Our thanks to all who made this year’s camp a success, and God willing we’ll see you in 2023!

How hot is it in Texas this year? As 2G explains in their video below, they are like “potatoes cooking in a pot!” That’s hot! But God blessed the camp with some rain today, which has cooled things off a bit as the Sabbath approaches. In the meantime, after the video, enjoy pics from 1B & 3G at Table Topics & Dance and more pics of waterskiers during Evening Activities.
