Loose the Youth, which started 11 years ago as a two-day youth revival and grew into a week-long conference, will begin Monday at the Victoria Community Center.

It continues through Friday, which will be the first ever Loose The Youth Banquet, complete with a fashion show titled “Modest is the Hottest.”

Pastors Walter and Bonita Ford of New Wine Fellowship Ministries say the camp is part of their mission to touch young peoples’ lives.

The camp starts with breakfast at 8 a.m. daily. Cost is $49 for youth ages 4-19. Night services only are open to the public at 7 p.m. Day sessions end at 3 p.m. and youth return at 6 p.m. for evening meal and night sessions.

The camp uses puppets, clowns, lessons for spiritual growth, dance and flag team, cheerleaders and more. For information, call 361-573-0544 or e-mail nwfmlty@awesomenet.net.
