Our Story.
How we started.
YOB Camp was founded in 2007 by Alison and Kevin Finniear and Phil and Suzy Portway, as they wanted a camp where children could make friends with people in their own town and continue that friendship throughout the year. In 2012, Phil and Suzy stepped down and Steve and Jo Walden joined the core team. In 2019, all four members of the core team handed over the reins to Megan, Hannah and Charlie, who used 2020 as a planning and training year and relaunched in 2021.
Despite the trials of Covid-19, Youth of Bognor has now celebrated four camps under it's new leadership and seen hundreds of children and young people across Bognor Regis hear the Gospel, some for the first time!
YoB Camp!
YoB Camp is the primary way that we express our mission to see the lives of children and young people throughout Bognor Regis changed by the love of Jesus!
YoB Camp is a week long summer camp run by a team of Christian volunteer leaders in the Isle of Wight, and it's been going strong since 2007!
"Activities every day. Sleepovers every night. Hot chocolate. Forever friends.
And the opportunity to get to know Jesus, who created it all. "
