By Polo Miguel Dela Cruz This was the first time I felt incomparable happiness. Lahat ng activities is relatable to every youth, yung tipong mabe-bless ka ng sobra kasi ang saya ng lahat ng gagawin niyo.
Ito rin yung moment na nag-sync in sakin na nasabi ko nalang na, “Ito na yun. Magse-serve na ko at magbabago na ko.”

By Trippee Velasco My first ever Camp Calye way back 2014 will always be treasured in my heart, as this camp served its very purpose of leading my mind, heart and soul to Christ; where I began to become passionately closer to God, where I felt Jesus truly in my life, and where I experienced real freedom through the Holy Spirit. This was the time where I finally found my One true love, Jesus.
The camp became my eye opener, that I was able to see and appreciate all God's creation as something beautiful and perfectly made. And every time I wake up, I am still and always be in awe of how His unconditional love molded me into every fiber of my being, perfectly planned! I am not perfect but solely by His grace, I am saved and always be loved by a perfect God! Thanks Jesus for Camp Calye! <3 By Charie Gemao It was year 2013 that I joined Camp Calye. Since then, my life was never been the same.
Like any other youth I was challenged by the world at an early age. Thus, I didn’t have a colorful childhood. As I grow into a fine lady, all that I wanted is a company of friends who will love me despite of my shortcomings and brokenness. I guess, we all want it and we all yearn for it – the sense of belongingness. And true enough, I gained it. In fact, I gained more than friends – but a family. I used to label myself as a “product of a broken family” but now I don’t. For God has made me whole and He gave me an extended family – a spiritual one, whom I know will not give up on me as much as I don’t give up on life. And by the way, my youth leaders before who encourage me to join the Camp are now my spiritual parents. I don’t call them mommy or daddy, but with all my heart I can feel that they love and treat me as their own daughter. PS. YUNG IBABAYAD MO SA CAMP, MAY SUKLI PA – mga kaibigan na di maglalaon ay iyo ring magiging pamilya na uunawa sa mga pagkakamali’t pagkukulang mo, maniniwala sa mga pangarap mo at magmamahal ng buong buo sa’yo!

Sa camp natuto akong lumaban sa kabila ng takot. Sa camp, natuto akong magpatuloy sa kabila ng hirap at pagod. Sa camp, natutunan ko na hindi ako nag-iisa sa laban na kinakaharap ko. At sa camp, natutunan kong tapusin ang bawat laban na nasimulan ko. Sa huli, kung mayroon man akong baon mula sa camp na hinding hindi ko makakalimutan, yun ay ang mga leksyon na humubog sa pagkatao ko ngayon. Sa camp, nabago ako ng dahil sa pagmamahal ng Diyos. By Biencarlo Maloles Noong ininvite palang ako para mag camp, sobrang ayaw ko kasi nakakatamad. Mayroon pa daw registration tapos pre-camp at madami pang iba. Naisip ko rin na parang sasayangin ko lang yung 4 days ng summer ko. Tapos noong naghahanda na ako para sa camp, habang hinahanda ko na lahat ng kailangan kong dalhin, gusto ko talaga mag back out kasi parang ang corny. Once na pagkapasok ko ng camp site, mayroon pa ring feeling na "ang corny naman nito" at "MATURE na masyado ako para dito eh".
Pero after some time ng araw na yun, sobrang pinagsisihan ko kung bakit ko sinabi o kahit inisip yung ganoong opinion sa camp. First day palang, sobrang SAYA na naming lahat. Parang sobrang magkakakilala na kaming lahat na nasa camp. Well, lalo na yung day 2-4 as in SOBRANG ENJOY na namin at andun yung feeling na "sana 1 MONTH nalang ang camp!" Hindi lang ako nag enjoy o nagkaroon ng mas madami pang kaibigan, kung hindi MAS NAPALAPIT RIN AKO SA DIYOS. Dahil sa experience na ito, nagustuhan ko mag serve para sa Kanya. Ang masasabi ko lang ay ang experience na ito ay yung tipong paguusapan niyo parin ng mga kaibigan niyo kahit ilang linggo (or buwan) na ang nakalikipas. HINDI mo talaga ito pag-sisisihan at talagang SULIT NA SULIT ang 4 days 3 nights mo!!! Kaya ano pa hinahanap mong activities para sa summer, full package na itoooo? Enjoy ka na, blessed pa! KAYA SAMA NA!!! |
