2008 Camp Memories

In 2001, Patrick Henry welcomed high school students from across the country to four one-week camps, and since this inaugural year, Teen Leadership Camps has developed into a thriving program with over 2100 camp alumni. The Teen Camps blend of challenging classroom sessions with traditional camp fun, all presented from a distinctly Christian worldview, offers a unique opportunity for high school students to participate in the mission of Patrick Henry College.

Teen Leadership Camps 2008 included eight separate camps over six weeks in June and July. Some camp offerings were perennial favorites, like Strategic Intelligence and Debate; others, Moot Court and Drama, were brand new offerings for 2008. Moot Court camp featured personal instruction by PHC Chancellor Michael Farris on the important issue of national security and individual liberty. Literature camp helped students discover and analyze the worldviews of several different works of literature. With two separate camp weeks, Strategic Intelligence was by far the most popular camp offering. SI camp exposed campers to all facets of the intelligence community, tested their espionage skills in covert mission operations, and emphasized the necessity of learning to apply a biblical worldview to the often difficult ethical questions within the intelligence community.

Most importantly, 2008 teen campers were challenged daily through chapel, small group Bible studies, and informal conversations to make Christ their highest. The prayer of the Teen Camps 2008 staff is that our campers left Patrick Henry’s campus with a clearer understanding of God’s plan for their future and a passion to serve Him with excellence in the next step of their lives.
