This summer, Sport for Life Golf camp celebrates its 18th year in Sweden. Kids between ages 12-18 will join us from all over the country. The camp will be held in Vesteras, just west of Stockholm at Surahammars Golfclub  (www.Surahammarsgk.org).  The camp is a combination of day campers and  overnight campers. The day campers  are invited to come to join us for any of our evening activities. We stay in the youth center of the local partner, Lifecenter Church (www.lifecenter.se). The days are split between golf instruction/drills and playing. Lunch is served at the course. Evenings are filled with recreation time and meetings. We have a nightly meeting, much like a camp here, where we have games, skits, etc. to promote fellowship and friendship building.  That is followed by worship, devotions and some of us sharing our stories with the kids. The participants are usually around 50/50 already Christian or not.

Sweden is a country where only about 2% of the population profess a relationship with Christ and this week may be the only time of the year where those kids who are already Christian might be in a situation where they are in the majority and can relax and really explore their faith in that kind of setting. Over the past 7 years, we have focused on providing much more of a discipleship tract for those kids, to go along with the evangelistic piece.

We are looking for people with a combination of a love of golf, a love of kids and most of all a love for Christ. We do conduct training and practice sessions and drills. You do not have to be a golf professional but should be comfortable in assisting someone running a drill or practice session. Potential participants should know that there are no carts in Sweden and there is a lot of walking involved.
