because one or both of their parents are incarcerated. It is our goal
to surround these children with the love of Christ demonstrated
through
many acts of caring and sharing. The children are invited to a special
weekend in the fall and particiapte with other campers in the regular
summer program. Best of all, they are mentored by unconditionally
loving adults. Contact the Camp Office or your school counselor for
information about attending All God's Children Camp.
Want
to
Sponsor A Child?
Funds to operate the weekend are needed to cover costs of food and
lodging for campers and mentors, mentor training, leadership manuals
and certain program supplies. A sponsorship gift of $140 covers these
costs as prorated per camper. Checks may be made payable to Camp
Overlook but should be marked for All God's Children.
Want
to be
a Mentor?
Energetic, committed and patient men and women are needed to form a
personal, Christ revealing relationship with our campers. Mentors will
probably relate to two campers and will participate as a partner in
camp activities. Good physical condition is important for negotiating
the hills and trails of Camp Overlook and keeping up with excited
