Seattle Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program is offering a two-day camp for 11-15 year-olds in Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Burien, Seatac, Vashon Island, and Tukwila. 

Wellspring of Joy is a text designed to strengthen basic reading and comprehension skills and to develop the capabilities associated with articulating ideas with precision and clarity. The readings tell the story of Saw Tu, a twelve-year-old refugee who is adjusting to life in his new country. Though he is experiencing difficulty at the outset of the story, he gradually comes to recognize where the source of true joy lies. Those who study the text will, similarly, take the opportunity to reflect on this theme, as they think about what it means to live an integrated and fruitful life. 

Junior Youth camps are a great opportunity for young people to connect and form new friendships; so this camp welcomes current participants of the Junior Youth Program as well as their friends and neighbors who may be new to the program!
