30-Hour Famine DIY Camp TypeS

Run your DIY Camp your way!

Changing times call for new breakthroughs! The 30-Hour Famine team is always on the lookout for new elements to add into 30-Hour Famine DIY Camps, allowing participants to experience the Famine in fresh ways. That’s why we’re launching a new model for DIY Camps in 2020: Customised DIY Camps! As long as you’re over 18, and are willing to accept challenges and try new things, you’re welcome to lead a Customised DIY Camp.

What is a Customised DIY Camp?

A Customised DIY Camp breaks the mould, giving camp leaders more freedom to play with locations, times, and methods. Camp Leaders can present the message of the 30-Hour Famine in creative ways, by incorporating their own personal interests, as well as any sports and activities they choose.

A Customised DIY Camp should include:

Fasting (for 30 hours/8 hours), fundraising and learning about the focus issues.
Positive activities such as mountain climbing, camping, outings, clearing up beaches etc.

Camp Leaders and their teams can make the most of their abilities and resources while putting together their Customised DIY Camp. They can even pick and choose which World Vision materials and Famine Challenges they would like to use while planning out their activities.

3 steps to becoming a Customised DIY Camp Leader

Email your camp plan to 30hourfamine@wvi.org before the Camp Leader Training Workshops. The plan submitted to World Vision should include the following information:

Camp details: date, time, place, estimated number of campers etc
Committee size and positions
Activity flow
Budget
Services and support required: professionals, medical staff, relevant applications and documents etc

Wait for World Vision staff to contact you.

You can run your Customised DIY Camp on the official Famine Weekend, and then spend the last 4 hours with Famine Fighters from all across Malaysia at a stadium. There you’ll reflect on what you’ve learned, share experiences, and count down together.
