Worshipping God and studying His word are the focus of all activities at FPYC. There are Bible studies, devotionals around the campfire, and worship in the lodge. Singing hymns of praise and devotion is always a part of Christian camping.

Special activities: Picnics, cookouts, campfire programs, treasure and scavenger hunts, and crazy olympics, junior carnival, and a catacomb service add to the fun. Or how about a game of capture the flag? Since the camp is located in the center of the George Washington State Forest, there are many opportunities for hiking and nature study. Canoe trips and overnight camping are high points of the camping experience at FPYC. Different, age-appropriate activities are selected for each session. 

Daily Crafts: For a change of pace, the crafts center will be open. Painting, metal sculpture, wood carving, plaster and wood plaques, beads and lacing are only a sample of the things to do.

Sports: Sports are also a part of any camp experience. There is volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer, tetherball, and ping pong. A new and well-liked sport is multi-ball soccer! On the lake there is swimming, fishing, paddle boating, and canoeing. 

Awards: Awards will be given for achievement in many activities. Campers are challenged to work on and receive the Bible, Honor Cabin, Camp Improvement and Master Camper awards. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 year awards are given to individuals for milestones of camp attendance.
