BACKPACKERS
2008A Christian Adventure for Young People Tuesday 29th - Friday 1st August 2008 3rd August 2008 Service of Thanksgiving God's people united in sharing the Good News of Jesus Backpackers is a Christian adventure for primary school children, organised and run by ordinary people from all the Christian churches in Chesham so that children can have a great time while learning about Jesus and what it means to be a Christian. It is also great fun for the helpers and gives a tremendous sense of UNITY and FELLOWSHIP as well as giving an important WITNESS to our town. Backpackers traditionally runs for four days during the first week of the school summer holidays: Tuesday to Friday late July, from 9.15am – 4.00pm for helpers. It is a daily club, not an overnight camp. In 2008 Backpackers will run from Tuesday 29th - Friday 1st August 2008. Backpackers is held in the grounds of Thomas Harding school and can accommodate about 300 children – provided there are enough helpers! Helpers with children under 5 can safely leave them each day in the excellent crèche if no other provision can be made. Here the children (called “minipackers”!) have their own organised activities with excellent resources. 2008 is the 18th year of Backpackers!
