SCYC 2025 - June 15-20, 2025
Time is swiftly approaching for another week of fun, fellowship, and Bible study at Taylor Christian Camp in Holland, Kentucky. We are excited that you plan to go and can’t wait to see you there!!
Our week of camp will be Sunday, June 15th to Friday, June 20th. This year’s theme is OVERCOMER and our scripture passage for the week will come from John 16:33 - “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” We began two years ago with Chosen. Last year we were Unashamed. This year the campers will learn that being Chosen and Unashamed leads us to being Overcomers of this world.
· What is church camp? Camp is an opportunity for kids and adults to engage in a period of Bible study and fellowship while enjoying God’s beautiful creation. It is conducted by a staff of volunteers from various churches that have many years of experience in Christian camping. A well rounded program of activities provides the camper with times of fun and spiritual growth.
· What do you do at church camp? There are many activities like team games (basketball, softball, soccer, etc.), water activities, skits, and other group activities that help a camper to learn to interact with their peers. There are also individual activities like crafts, board games, and just hanging out, to give the camper an opportunity to enjoy themselves. Bible classes, devotionals, singing silly VBS songs, Jr./Sr. Camper nightly devotionals, and other interactions with faithful Christians are held daily to help each camper to grow closer together and closer to God.
· Where is SCYC held? Taylor Christian Camp is located on a large, beautiful ridge in Holland, Kentucky, which is nine miles east of Scottsville, Kentucky on Highway 100. The camp has cabins for every age group, both male and female, bathhouses, pavilions, a dining hall, ball fields, hiking trails. Visit their website at www.taylorchristiancamp.org for a virtual tour of the facility.

Recap of Simpson County Youth Camp 2024 - June 16-21, 2024!!
We had a great week at Taylor Christian Camp! We had 215 campers and adults for the week with lots of visitors and guest during the week. Our campers were well-behaved, and our staff was top notch! We used the theme UNASHAMED and taught lessons around not being ashamed to share the gospel message with those around us. We had several highlights during the week (to many to share), but the best things came when were able to welcome new brothers and sisters into Christ! We had six baptisms and 1 restoration during camp week and 1 more baptism when we got back to church on Sunday. Listed below are those who responded and also a list of the end of the week awards for 2024. We are always sad that camp is over, but we are also happy to be home. Camp takes a lot of work and the planning for 2025 has already begun! We want to thank our church family for all of the prayers, contributions (physically and monetarily), and especially the parents for entrusting us with your kids.
