Our goal is to show God’s love to all the children who come into our care. We believe in a nourishing not only the body, but also nourishing the mind, heart, and spirit. With our caring and dedicated staff, we foster a culture of encouragement, support and growth. Our hope is that the children will have opportunities to grow and mature in the likeness of Christ while at our summer camp, building lasting relationships amongst the children and the staff. Let’s create an unforgettable summer together!
