A Summer to Remember with Camp Hope
Working each week, our staff has seen reading levels, attention spans, and love for learning grow in our Education Program. May marks the end of this school year which also means the start of summer. Summer, which should be a time of sun and games, brings stress for many families. Without the classroom for their students, some working parents struggle with being able to find a constructive place for their child. A few years ago after seeing this need, Camp Hope was created centered around Christ.
From June 6 - July 29, 2022, we open our doors Monday through Friday to students for camp activities. With swimming lessons, crafts, Bible lessons, and snacks, it is the most exciting way to spend a summer. Our goal is for each of our 75 campers to be fully sponsored for $1,400 per student. In total, we are trying to reach $105,000 for a fully funded summer! We also challenge our kids that learning doesn't pause in May. Our daily routine includes summer reading and time for writing and learning.
Our summer staff break into groups to help support each child. Volunteer teams come bringing worship songs and crafts for the kids. For those who can't volunteer in person, you can partner with us financially. You can partner with us as a donor to ensure that each child has the books, food, and Christ's love to make their summer unforgettable.
