This past week was a monumental week for the Paso Robles faith and sports community!
We (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) hosted an inaugural 2022 Futures Sports Camp at the Paso Robles Sports Club. The goal of this camp was for 5th-8th graders to grow athletically in their sport, relationally with other campers, and spiritually closer to God.
It was an amazing success as we had 44 campers and over 30 coaches and volunteers!
At the end of the week, we gave an invitation for the campers to respond to what they were taught and 11 campers decided to accept Jesus for the first time and 20 more rededicated their lives to Him!
Athletically
Campers chose one sport to play the entire week and were coached by high school level coaches and players. The different sports they could choose were baseball, basketball, flag-football, soccer, tennis, and wrestling.
Relationally
Campers were paired with a "huddle" the entire week where they were paired with a small group of campers and a huddle-leader who was a high school athlete. By the end of the week, these huddles were playing well together and some meaningful friendships were formed.
Spiritually
Every day the campers were also taught Biblical truths and encouraged in their faith from our camp speaker Dave Johnson of Templeton Presbyterian Church. Their high school huddle leaders then led small-group discussions and encouraged them on a personal basis.
We are looking forward to another Paso Robles Futures camp in July of 2023!
