The first full day of Camporee 2019 was filled with surprise and emotion. The first morning in camp started with the devotional, with Stephan Sigg exhorting young people to find and follow their good role models, as Joshua has done with Moses. The theme song and the information about life in campus were the other high points of the session.
During the day, time was short for all there was to be experience. Participants could pray and sing in the prayer tent, practice pioneering activities, play water and traditional games, assist to workshops and complete tasks to earn colored talents. With those, at the evening, they could circulate through the City Life avenue, where several national booths entertained activities and shows very creatively. The environment invited to a fraternal meeting with other countries and cultures, all sharing the joy of being present in a camp united by Christ’s love.
Camporee 2019 has called the attention of authorities and society in Portugal. The camp received the visit of the Secretary of State of Youth and Sport, Dr. João Paulo Rebelo. After a parade organized by the Portuguese delegation with more than 500 Pathfinders, the officer had lunch among young people and visited the facilities, congratulating the camp initiative and organization.
A long and happy day. And still the first! Imagine the amount of strong and meaningful memories all the participants will collect from Camporee. They will count to remember them “God’s Promise: Always with you”!
