DCYC’s Senior Mixed Camp is a week of building friendships and community among the South West’s young people. It provides a space to explore the Christian faith, perhaps for the first time, or to grow deeper in your relationship with God. The week is your own to enjoy activities, teaching and worship sessions that are accessible whatever your background or views on the Christian faith. As with all DCYC camps, Senior Mixed hosts a range of exciting activities. We make the most of our idyllic location near Blackpool Sands in South Devon and provide opportunities for kayaking, swimming, and a beach sleep. Other activities include team sports, drama and music, Nerf gun wars, plus a whole range of creative craft sessions and board games that run throughout the week. The warm community atmosphere at Senior Mixed makes everyone feel welcome and at home (especially the amazing meals cooked by our fantastic kitchen team!). Amongst all the other activities, there is plenty of space to relax and build friendships with other campers that continue beyond camp and on in to the future!

In light of the present COVID-19 situation we are reviewing and monitoring whether we can host DCYC this summer. Presently we are continuing to plan our Camps as normal and bookings remain open. As the situation continues to evolve our Trustees & Management Team are in regular discussions as to whether we will be able to safely host our Camps this year, while keeping within the Government Guidance for large gatherings.

DCYC’s Boys Camp is a week of high-energy games and adventure in the heart of Devon. It is a chance for us to grow in friendships as we explore more about God and how exciting life is when he is at the centre. As with all DCYC camps, Boys Camp hosts a range of exciting activities. We make the most of our idyllic location near Blackpool Sands and provide opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and a beach sleep. Other activities include archery, woodland exploration, field games and board games. Expect to enjoy great food that will keep you fuelled up for all of the adventures of the week. At Boys Camp, we aim to grow in our thankfulness to God for all of the awesome sports and hobbies he has given us. The week allows a time to grow in knowledge of the Christian faith through worship, prayer and teaching. The camp is a safe space to ask questions and the community atmosphere amongst the teens and leaders sees this camp get better year on year.

I’m Tim, a youth worker based in Woodbury, currently attending Christ Church Woodbury. I have helped at Boys Camp over the past 10 years and have seen some amazing things happen, both on the football pitch and what God does in these boys lives. This will be my first year managing boys camp and I am excited about having fun and bringing kids closer to Christ. Boys Camp is such a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends, (both campers and officers) learn a new skill, (such as Kayaking, Crocker, Archery) experience something new, (such as sleeping on a beach, widegames) and learn more about God.

DCYC’s Junior Mixed Camp is an action-packed week that focuses on having fun as a community of God’s people in the South West. We do this through games, activities, worship, and teaching. As well as uniting as a whole camp, we also prioritise small group time at Junior Mixed, to build long-lasting friendships that grow from year to year. As with all DCYC camps, Junior Mixed hosts a range of exciting activities. We make the most of our idyllic location near Blackpool Sands and provide opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and a beach sleep. Other activities include archery, woodland exploration, field games, plus a whole range of creative craft sessions and board games that run throughout the week. Junior Mixed promises to be a memorable week of your summer holiday. It is a time that allows you not only to explore a range of sports and develop new hobbies, but to spend quality time getting to know God and the joy that knowing Him brings.

Mitch and Laura have been leaders at Junior Mixed Camp for over 10 years and describe it as their ‘best week of the year!’. Before managing the camp they have both been involved with all aspects running the week from being Padres to worship leading to toilet cleaning. Their passion is to see young people come to understand their true identity as loved and accepted children of God and they are keen to show that God not only enjoys having fun, but that he invented it! Mitch and Laura love getting to know new people and will hugely encourage any young people interested in coming to Junior Mixed Camp to come along and enjoy a fun-filled week of activities as they make friends and become part of the DCYC family.

DCYC Girls’ Camp is an exciting and fun-filled week for girls aged between 10 and 14. We are privileged to welcome girls who have never been away from home before… let alone to DCYC! Girls’ Camp offers so many opportunities to get involved and to make new friends. In the course of a week, we swim in the sea, sleep out on the beach, go to Splashdown, go to Woodlands, get involved in drumming workshops, hunt leaders in disguise, play on inflatables, play ‘Silly Sports’, play team games, try canoeing, try archery, make crafts, play sports… and so much more! At the heart of Girls’ Camp, though is a desire to see all those onsite learn more about God. Engaging, interactive sessions, small group quiet times and prayer and worship underpin all that we do. We want all the girls to know more about the love their Father God has for them and to start to develop a personal relationship with Him. We welcome girls of all backgrounds to come and enjoy a week of living life to the full in beautiful South Devon!

Hi, I’m Emma, one of the managers for Girls’ Camp! Unlike Megan, I didn’t grow up attending DCYC, but one year she persuaded me to come as a leader and I’ve been back every year since! I pray that the girls who attend camp this year would come to understand who Jesus is, what He has done for them and that they would build strong friendships so as to support and encourage each other in their walks with him. I am extremely excited to be part of the DCYC team and count it a real privilege to be able to spend a week of the summer with these amazing young people! Hi, I’m Megan and have been coming to DCYC since 2002. I love what Girls’ Camp is all about – knowing more of God, having fun and making new friends – and count it a real privilege to come back each year! As teachers, Emma and I love spending time with young people and helping them to see more of who they have been created to be. Camp is such a formative, special time and the friendships made in a field in Devon are lifelong. Bring on Girls’ Camp!

Bliss Camp is the last DCYC Camp of the summer and is a space that welcomes anyone and everyone for a long weekend at our idyllic site near Blackpool Sands. The camp is a safe, friendly and relaxed space that allows you to catch your breath before the start of a new academic year. There is a mix of structured sessions, which centre on Christian teaching and worship, as well as free time to explore South Devon’s beautiful coast. You can also enjoy a range of exciting activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, archery, creative craft sessions and board games. It provides onsite children and youth work during the daily worship gatherings, so each member of the family can enjoy age-appropriate teaching. We are also blessed to have a catering team who keep us fuelled up for the entire weekend. Bliss Camp is suitable for all people of all ages, welcoming those who have attended DCYC events for years and those who are visiting. The weekend prioritises building relationships between individuals and church communities across the South West and worshipping our God in a beautiful corner of his creation. Bliss Camp transcends boundaries between denominations, and creates a community united in their love for Christ and fellowship with other believers. We are also pleased to offer various options to make Bliss more affordable – Students, and those that may have volunteered at another DCYC camp this year came come along for £50, whilst under 16’s can attend for £40. We can’t wait to see you at camp!

We are Adam and Jen and we currently live in Exeter. We feel very blessed to be part of the DCYC family, and are really excited to spend another weekend welcoming you to Bliss! Our backgrounds are rooted in North and Mid Devon and Jen has been attending DCYC since coming to Girls camp as a camper. We have spent over a decade serving as a leader across many different camps, and have been honoured to manage Bliss camp for the last 4 years. Our passion for Bliss camp is to see relationships between people and churches strengthened through fellowship with one another: from the young to not so young, from all walks of life and from all denominations. We want Bliss to transcend boundaries where denominations fail and to encompass all people under the love and grace of Jesus Christ. So, if you are looking for a Bank Holiday weekend of great fun, great fellowship and great food (!) Bliss camp might just be the place for you!
