Youngsters Run the Race at YMCA Norfolk camp

The first day of YMCA Norfolk’s “Run the Race!” holiday camp took place on Monday April 11. Children from across Norwich took part in dodgeball, football and badminton as well as creating their own medals and enjoying a ‘messy’ game involving Angel Delight! Pete Tyson, a Fusion Worker from Norwich Youth for Christ, delivered the key message about “Run the Race!” based on 1 Corinthians ch9 v 24 from the Bible. The young people learnt about how life is like running a race, to run well we need to love others and love God and just as athletes run to get a prize we run the race of life to win an eternal prize! Jess Tyson, Health and Well-being Development Worker for YMCA Norfolk, said: “We are very excited to be able to bring back YMCA holiday camps and our first day was lots of fun, a huge success. It was great to see the children being active, making friends and learning in a fun environment.”

The next day of “Run the Race!” holiday camp is Monday April 18, from 10am – 3pm and costs £15. There is still time to book your place.
