Camp Season is right around the corner and we are looking for creative friends who can help up put together our portable stage props. This year, our theme is The Greatest Show so building and painting our circus stage set will be a pretty big part of the camp experience. Volunteers are asked to help paint, design, and prep the storage system for the set.
My Camp is a summer camp for the children of prisoners, children affected by a loved one's substance addiction, or children experiencing high levels of trauma. My Camp offers a program designed around their specialized needs.
The powerful, positive, impact of a one-week camping experience cannot be discounted. It is a life-changing experience.
Summer camps, for kids ages 5 to 18, are uniquely designed for at-risk children and youth. Children have a chance to just be kids as they participate in swimming, horseback riding, archery, games, and arts and crafts, but summer camps provide much more. Children learn they are not the only ones with a parent in prison, and they interact with staff who had similar experiences growing up. In addition to all the fun activities, there are classes that provide children with tools to make healthy choices, process grief and realize their value and dreams. Children learn life skills including conflict resolution and anger management and have opportunities to increase their social and emotional development by participating in group activities, going horseback riding, and connecting with God.
