All God's ChildrenAll God’s Children Camp 2017 is Gearing Up
Folks, we are already gearing up for an awesome time at All God’s Children Camp for the 2017 summer weeks. The dates and campsites are set. Flyers are being printed, applications are being mailed out and mentor recruiting is underway.
There are many ways you can volunteer for camp and we definitely need all the help we can get. Below are all the ways you can get involved. Please contact Lori Smith at lttlelori@gmail.com or by phone, 571-245-9591 if you would like more information.
1. Prayer. Please pray for Camp Overlook, Camp Chanco and Occohannock on the Bay as they receive All God’s Children Camp this summer. Please pray that we have 90 folks sign up to be mentors for our 3 camps. Pray that those mentors will be the hands and feet of Jesus for our campers. Also, pray for all staff members of All God’s Children Camp as they prepare for an awesome summer. Lastly, pray for the campers, that their lives may be transformed in and through Jesus.
Dates for 2017:
What is All God’s Children Camp? Children, ages 7 to 12, with an incarcerated mother or father, spend a week at camp, participating in activities such as boating, swimming, hiking, archery, music, crafts, Bible study, and conflict resolution. Partnering with Virginia United Methodist camps, All God’s Children Camp provides a week of sanctuary for children who face so many challenges in their lives: economic poverty; temporary living conditions; loneliness; low self-esteem; violence; and drugs.
Form for campers, mentor, and supporter are available on the website
