Because of You,
those without the financial means are able to attend an outdoor ministry experience (camp or retreat) to
grow in God’s grace. Your gifts to a Campership Fund (“scholarships”) make it possible when the
need is the most critical in their lives. One of the 23 campership recipients this summer wrote:
Thank you so much for awarding me a campership to allow me to attend Music Camp… I had a
blast and I grew in faith at the same time. So many things happened this year (at home) and
money just got tight. Returning to camp allowed me to catch up with the friends I hadn’t seen for
a whole year. But now that the week is over, I realize I’ve been touched by God. Being at camp
again made me feel I was on top of the world. I have you to thank for making it a reality.
