2024 Sport for Life Sweden - Sportsweek Camp

We're super excited to be sending a Southeast team of 12 back to Family Camp in Halmstad, Sweden to serve with Sport for Life (SFL).  Are you between the age of 18 and 75, ready to be highly active with kids, and interact intergenerationally with their families?  Are you able to instruct at sports and build relationships?  (If you have golf skills that's a plus.) In Sweden, entire families come to Halmstad camp in their RV's. 

Our SE Prospect Campus is facilitating this trip and we encourage you to reach out to the Team Leader for more trip details if you have an interest in participating in this trip.

While the kids engage in sports, there is also opportunity to involve adults in sports and engage in conversation too as they watch their kids, or in the evenings at the nightly meeting, where we have games, skits, etc. to promote fellowship and friendship building.  That is followed by worship, devotions and some of us sharing our testimonies.

Sweden is a country where only about 2% of the population profess a relationship with Christ.  Did you know that over 70% of all Swedes aged 16-80 years exercise regularly? Over 80% of all children and young people (6-18 years) are or have been part of a sports club. Over 50% of these quit before they turn 15. Most quit, not because they think sports are too boring, but because they feel that they are too bad at sports, have been poked fun at, or that it has become too serious with only the best continue with a sport.  But, sports is a universal language, a perfect tool for working with integration and community across ethnic, socio-economic and religious boundaries.

We'd like our SECC team come and help these sports camp families see what SFL is doing and how they can connect to God and sports.  This trip is a win if at the end, our Swedish camp participants have had a great week as a family, and they have taken steps in their faith and sports. The goal is for people to understand it is possible to be a Christian and an athlete. With only 12 open spots, this trip will fill quickly so apply soon!  

Restrictions:
1) Trip members must be adult members of Southeast Christian church or have verified attended for at least 6 months.  Youth over age 12 applying must have a parent applying and both must actively participate on all aspects of the trip.  
2) Trip members must have a current passport with an expiration date that goes 6 months beyond the last day of the trip.  
3) Trip members must be able to actively walk long distances over uneven terrain and climb stairs.

We look forward to serving you!
