The mountains of Antipolo became a sanctuary of peace and inspiration as young people gathered for the HJ Youth Camp, held on September 13–14, 2025, at Sitio Binayoyo. The two-day event brought together members of Pure Water Youth and other young participants for a time of reflection, fellowship, and renewal of spirit.
A Message of Care for Creation
At the heart of the camp was a guiding message from True Mother Hak Ja Han:
“When we care for nature, we are caring for God’s creation and preparing a world where future generations can live in peace.”
This quote set the tone for the entire program, reminding participants of their responsibility to live in harmony with the environment while cultivating a heart of stewardship for future generations.
Fellowship and Testimonies
The camp opened with heartfelt sharing sessions, where youth members expressed their life journeys, challenges, and triumphs. These testimonies highlighted the strength of faith and the importance of community support in navigating the complexities of youth life today. Through honest dialogue, participants built deeper bonds and discovered common threads of hope and resilience.
Inspiring Lectures and Learning
The program also included inspiring lectures that touched on faith, responsibility, and the vision of building a world of peace. The talks challenged the youth to reflect on their role as leaders of tomorrow, encouraging them to embody love, service, and integrity in their daily lives.
Hiking, Bonding, and Nature’s Embrace
Beyond lectures and testimonies, the camp offered plenty of opportunities for recreation and bonding. Hiking through the lush trails of Sitio Binayoyo allowed participants to connect with the beauty of creation. Surrounded by greenery and fresh mountain air, the youth found moments of relaxation and reflection, appreciating the simple yet profound lessons nature offers.
A Spirit of Unity and Renewal
The atmosphere throughout the camp was filled with joy, laughter, and mutual care. Whether during group activities, meals, or quiet reflection, everyone felt embraced by a spirit of unity. The combination of natural surroundings and heartfelt fellowship created an unforgettable experience that strengthened not only individual faith but also the collective resolve to live for a greater purpose.
Looking Ahead
The HJ Youth Camp in Antipolo was more than just a weekend getaway — it was a spiritual retreat that nurtured the heart, mind, and soul. By embracing nature and reconnecting with faith, the youth left the camp renewed, inspired, and ready to carry the vision of peace into their communities.
