Now imagine that parent:
- Maybe struggling to stay afloat
- Maybe homeless
- Maybe needing some quality, unhindered time to look for work
- Maybe a refugee
- and trying to be a good parent nonetheless ....
.... and all of a sudden, a chance presents itself for their child to enjoy a wonderful experience away from home, fed, taken care of, in a positive Christian environment. Wow! Isn't this what we are all about as the Outdoor Ministry for the Presbytery of Olympia?
A healthy camp is one that is diverse - full of kids of ALL socioeconomic means who want to have safe, positive experiences in the out-of-doors with caring leaders. $375 sends a kid to camp for a week and at the same time makes a parent a hero.
Please consider donating to our scholarship fund so more of these letters can be distributed.
