Panama – Bosco Camp for SYM Youth
Panama City, Panama – June 2023 –On 24 and 25 June, the young people of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) took part in the Bosco Camp held in Punta Macú, Escobal, in the province of Colón, based on the 2023 Strenna of the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime: "AS YEAST IN TODAY'S HUMAN FAMILY. The lay dimension of Don Boscos family'. The young people left early in the morning from the Basilica of Don Bosco headed for Colón where they were welcomed by the organising team. The first day was full of exciting activities such as gatherings, karaoke, dancing, WYD moments, a night of prayer, formative speeches and a night of talent shows and competitions. Each youth group surprised everyone with their creativity by presenting clothes made from recycled materials. The Sunday mass was celebrated by Fr Manuel Gómez, SDB, followed by a time for commitment, the result of the Bosco Camp experience. Then 17 young people who will take part in World Youth Day in Lisbon were welcomed. Fr Jean Paul Bethancourt, SDB, SYM Delegate for the Salesian Province of Central America (CAM), and Abel Muñoz, SYM Coordinator in Panama, accompanied the young people in this enriching experience, typical of the Salesian charism. Bosco Camp offered the young people the opportunity to enjoy moments of healthy recreation and shared living among all the members of the youth groups, strengthening the bonds of fellowship.
