CAMPOREE MESSAGE OF APPRECIATION
From the EZF Youth Director – Uncle Social
Glory and honour be given to God Almighty for making the 2026 East Zambia Field Pathfinder Camporee a success.

Your support allowed these young people to experience a camporee that will remain in their hearts for many years. They were strengthened spiritually, socially, mentally and physically. They learned discipline, independence, teamwork, service and faith in action.
We acknowledge that, like every major camp, there may have been areas where things did not go as expected. For anything that may not have gone well, we sincerely apologize. Every experience teaches us, and every challenge gives us an opportunity to improve. By God’s grace, we will continue learning, planning better and serving our young people with greater excellence.

We were also blessed by the powerful morning devo
