On Tuesday, June 13, 2023, approximately 900 teenagers clad in vibrant t-shirts arrived at a City of Fort Walton Beach recreation field to compete in a game that combined elements of ultimate frisbee and quidditch, played on inflatable hopper balls.
- These teenagers, from grades 7th through 12th, were accompanied by around 200 adult volunteer chaperones. They all belonged to a youth group visiting from Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas.
According to the City of Fort Walton Beach, Prestonwood Church has been organizing its annual “Beach Camp” in the area for the past five years.
This highly anticipated event provides an opportunity for the youth to enjoy our area’s stunning beaches, engage in fellowship and bible study within smaller groups, and attend services at the First Baptist Church of Fort Walton Beach.
- The week-long excursion will conclude on Friday when the group embarks on their journey back home, utilizing more than 20 charter coach buses.
Talking about their time in Fort Walton Beach, Nextgen Pastor Jason Mick from Prestonwood Church expressed his appreciation for the warm welcome they received. “The beaches are beautiful; the people are friendly; everyone we’ve worked with has been so gracious,” Mick shared. “We always feel welcome here.”
