Six Days of Powerful Fun
Pacific Water Walkers Summer Camp
at
The
National
Black
Presbyterian
Caucus,
Southern
California
Chapter
(NBPC-SC)
Summer
Youth
Camp
has
been
in
session
for
over
48
years.
This
camp
was
formerly
known
as
the
Black
Advisory
Committee
(BAC)
Summer
Youth
Camp.
BAC
was
a
non-profit
organization
comprised
of
11
African
American
Presbyterian
Churches
in
Southern
California
that
saw
a
need
with
their
congregation
and
youth
ministries
to
come
together
as
one
group
with
one
voice,
providing
youth ministry in the urban context.
Our
Camp
logo
was
inspired
from
a
camp
planning
session
in
2005
from
the
Gospel
of
Matthew
14:26-29,
from
a
talk
and
a
vision sharing session by our camp director, Reverend Timm Cyrus, entitled "Water Walking" vs. "Boat Clinging". (see history)
The
camp
empowers
youth
and
young
adults
as
they
bring
others
to
Christ.
It
is
an
event
that
helps
to
keep
our
African
American
youth
off
the
streets,
out
of
trouble,
out
of
gangs,
and
off
drugs.
Camp
creates
a
positive
outlet
for
them
to
be
able
to
express
themselves
and
their
love
for
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
This
camp
has
given
our
inner-city
youth
a
chance
to
experience
Christ
in
a
different
atmosphere,
without
the
daily
distractions.
Every
year,
the
camp
experiences
a
Holy
Spirit
anointing,
bringing
hundreds
of
youth
to
a
personal
relationship
with
Jesus
Christ.
The
God-kissed
location
and
phenomenal
presence
of
the
Holy
Spirit
motivates
our
youth
to
return
every
year.
Many
of
the
young
adults
have
returned
to
serve
in
Camp
Ministry
as
deans,
counselors,
worship
leaders,
and
power-shops
instructors.
Most
of
the
staff
is
between
ages
18-40.
We
have
found
that
peer-counseling
is
super-effective.
Many
youth
have
received
their
call into the Ministry of the Word and Sacrament.
The
Pacific
Water
Walkers
Summer
Youth
Camp
has
changed
many
lives
for
the
better.
We
believe
in
embracing
multi-cultural
contributions,
inter-denominational
worship
and
unity
within
the
Body
of
Christ.
Our
Spirit-filled
staff
fully
appreciates
their
life-changing
experiences
and
are
mandated
to
provide
these
incredible
opportunities
to
others.
Campers
are
nurtured
in
a
real,
lasting
relationship
with
God
and
are
provided
with
a
solid
foundation
for
family
and
citizenship
in
our
society.
Most
of
all,
the
spiritual
fevor
of
the
mentors
becomes
a
contageous
blessing
of
encouragement
to
the
campers
who
are
on
fire
as
they
go back down the mountain, excited and ready to work for the Lord's sake.
