Youth ministries leaders from throughout the Inter-American Division (IAD) recently met to finalize logistics at the campsite where more than 14,000 young people are expected to gather for Inter-America’s 5th Pathfinder Camporee in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Apr. 4-8, 2023.
Youth leaders and organizers toured and studied the 120-acre Trelawny multi-purpose facility Aug. 30-31, to set campgrounds for each of the 24 unions which will be represented during the five-day event.
“We were able to study and move forward with various aspects of the main logistics to make sure our pathfinders and their groups will have the best experience in Jamaica spiritually, physically and socially,” said Pastor Al Powell, youth ministries director for the church in Inter-America and main organizer of the event. “Our youth leaders were able to walk through all the facility, see what specific needs their delegations have, define details of the daily programs, and honor classes and activities that will make the camporee a memorable occasion to so many thousands of young people.”
