Who are the children that come to camp


Who are the children that come to camp?

Most of our campers are in the age range of 8 to 11. Most of them have at least one parent in prison.

How is the Gospel shared with the prisoner’s children?

By giving the campers a bible and teaching them how to read it; through memory bible verses, skits, plays, devotions, object lessons, puppet shows, missionary stories, and bible stories. The counselors are then able to use rest time and time before bed to discuss what they have learned and answer questions.
