DEYC Summer Camp 2025 - held at the St. John Irving Memorial Episcopal church, Grand Cape Mount County

It is with a grateful heart that we share the joyful news that all our campers arrived home safely yesterday - some as late as early this morning. To God be the glory for His traveling mercies and divine protection.

We sincerely appreciate every camper for turning out in such great numbers, our thanks and appreciation also to our parents, guidance and sponsor s for their countless support. This year’s camp recorded the highest attendance in recent history, and we are truly thankful that it was a great success. From the indoor sessions to the evangelism in Robertspot community, to basic life-skills training, sporting activities, and beach games - what beautiful memories were shared and what strong bonds were formed. May we continue to build on this momentum as we spread the good news of Christ during the day of our youth.

Special congratulations go to the Program and Planning Committee, ably headed by Bro. Amos Gayflor Zaizay Jr.. To our Youth Director Allen Vahton Gaye, we extend heartfelt thanks for your unwavering spiritual guidance and support. To the Executive Council, we deeply appreciate your cooperation and commitment. Indeed, this success is the result of true collective effort.

As we step into a new year, we wish you and your households a happy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year 2026.

Shalom!
