This is a great framework for running a Youth Camp, I am starting to coach my son's youth teams, so I've been incorporating ideas from the PDF's to their age group. We also used some of Alex's ideas during the NEXT22 Camp with Cameron Brink, kids loved it! Would definitely purchase this if you're interested in a good plan for camps/practices.
