Mechuwana Youth Program

The purpose of the Mechuwana Youth Program is to provide a safe and accepting environment for personal growth. This is achieved through – uniting friends, exchanging ideas, finding unconditional care and support, seeking fellowship with God, and providing an experience to which each person can look forward.

World Camps Africa:  We are helping to collect supplies for Camp Sizanani in South Africa.  We have made a promise to the camp that we will collect items from their wish list this year.  Please click here for more information about the camp and for a list of items they need.

RALLIES ROCK! Here's why:

We decided it was time to start a new list of reasons that rallies rock - so send us your reason today at mechuwana@aol.comWe want to hear from you!

1.  Camp is where everyone knows your name. (Kendra J.)
2.  Camp is where you can be yourself, act like a fool, have a blast, and watch Jarod lose to another dance competition!!! (Courtney C.)
3.  Camp is where you gain the courage to be nothing but yourself, 24/7. (Bailey W.)
4.  Because dragging your mattress up and down the stairs is great exercise. If it's a senior high rally you get to do it twice! (JoJo K.)
5.  So you can hear Stairway to Heaven just one more time! (Rian L.)
6. Rallies rock because rallies are where you can be anything you want to be at anytime and no one thinks any different of you. Also, rallies are like a regrouping of old and new places, it's home. (Ben D.)
7.  "F is for friends who have fun together
     U is for you and me
     N is for aNything aNytime you want at Mechuwana Youth Rallies!" (Alecia B.)
8.  Dancing to Total Eclipse of the Heart with Beth and not knowing the words, but not really caring about not knowing the words - and just singing out (LOUDLY) whatever we think the words might be.  (Abby J.).
9.  Camp Mechuwana is a place to be yourself and to shake your energy out! (Daphne E.)
10.  Rallies are amazing because it gives us people who live in the middle of no
where a chanceto see some of our closest friends. Also gets us away from the stress of the real world for a weekend! (Orre A.)

We have a scholarship fund for the youth program.  The program is in honor of Sabrina Glidden Paine, who passed away in July, 2003.  She wanted no youth to be turned away from rallies or camp for financial reasons.  If you would like to contribute to the fund, please send your donation to:
