Outcomes and Benefits
Campers
- Provides a powerful week of positive memories where kids can just be kids
- Shows a picture of family life for those who haven’t experienced it
- Replaces missing elements in their lives (i.e. attention, affirmation, happiness, positive memories, “basics” such as food, clothing, and emotional connectedness)
- Plants the seeds of hope into their lives. When they believe in themselves they will seek improvements for themselves, long after camp is over
Community
- Brings the church and state together for a noble cause
- Community sees the church in a new light, as a giver and a servant
- Gives caregivers a week of respite
- Helps transform these kids from current tax consumers to future tax payers
Church
- Gets people involved - “out of the pew and involved with a purpose”
- Builds faith in the members involved
- Expands the church into the community
- Allows members in the church who have suffered abuse to use their past to benefit others
