During the week of July 31 – Aug. 4, 2007, an estimated 5,000 Royal Rangers from all over Europe will travel to Lillehammer, Norway for EuroCamp. This special event takes place every 4 years and is similar to National Camporama in the USA, but instead of boys coming together from the 50 states, boys and girls will gather from 23 nations across Europe. During the day, Rangers will participate in sports and compete against each other in activities designed to test their outdoor skills and use their God given talents. Many workshops and craft stations are offered that allow Rangers to exercise their creativity through various artistic means.
Special services will be held each evening and are the spiritual highlight of the camp. Rangers will enjoy worship bands composed of their own peers, have the opportunity to express themselves through drama, and hear challenging messages from God’s word. The services are usually conducted in English, but translation is available through headsets into the many languages used throughout Europe. Historically, many young people give their hearts to the Lord, or are motivated to a deeper Christian walk during these services.
RRI staff members and Rangers from the USA will be attending as part of a special delegation to EuroCamp 2007. European Royal Rangers should visit www.RoyalRangersEurope.net to learn more and register for the camp, or contact Matthias Reinartz at pr@royal-rangers.de .
