LANGUAGES USED:
Since
Uganda uses English (at the moment) as one of the unifying languages,
the committee agrees that the 1st language should be English. The
preaching, counseling and guidance sessions will be interpreted from
English to Luganda.
However,
during the one-on-one counseling sessions, different languages will be
used accordingly so as the message is well perceived.
To
further reduce the risk of feeling isolated by language, we advise
campers are come to the camp with a friend or friends, if that is
possible.
Language is the doorway to understanding the infinite
variety of human cultures; understanding culture is the key to
tolerance; working and playing together are the means through which
culture and tolerance are given a human face and then extended
through
friendship.
PRAYERS

The camping era will be full of leaning about the gospel, worshiping, entertainments of different types, games and sports among others. However, since some of the campers may be from different religions, we campers MUST abide with the terms and conditions of the camp. No idles (small gods) or acts of witch craft will be accepted in the camp.
We are not attached to any church but we work with different approved God fearing pastors, elders, parents, youths, business people and leaders that can inspire youths.

DHOLFA Youth Camp Instills Great Values in Cool Ways
Youths especially those in their adolescent years may not know why they believe what they believe, but they believe it, nonetheless! In other words, values and beliefs are caught,and not necessarily taught.
A well run DHOLFA Youth Camp will have staff members that not only teach great lessons about God and about life; they will model these lessons in the ways they care for youths and serve them.
Many people will tell you that the love and care of DHOLFA youth Camp counselors made a change in their lives.
DHOLFA Youth Camp helps youths own their Faith A lot of Churches programs are run on the same model school classes are taught. Youths hear teachings and new information, there may be some short discussion, and then they are on their way to other things.
When
young people interact with new friends who share their beliefs, talk
openly about them, and live a life that sincerely involves faith, their
own faith can grow greatly.
When young people are mentored by camp staff members or by other peers who take them under their wing, amazing things happen.
As
we move towards an increasingly national, international, interconnected
and global community, DHOLFA youth camp could help to prepare youths
to play a positive role in this brave new world which they will soon
inherit.
