Kids 2 Camp program is still impacting lives!

Last year marked the tenth year of providing a way for any child to attend who wishes to come to camp at Warm Beach, regardless of financial ability to pay. Over those 10 years, thousands of children, youth, and even some adults, have attended camp. In a caring and compassionate environment, each child is presented with the love and good news of Jesus Christ, and for many, it is truly a life-changing experience.

For some, they only needed a partial scholarship to be able to come. But, whatever it takes, Warm Beach Camp is committed to finding a way for that camper to come.

We also worked with more than 30 churches, Christian ministries, and social service agencies who work with at-risk youth. In order to bring groups of their kids to camp, we provide matching funds they can use to raise more money for their kids. Nearly $75,000 in additional funds came from those partnerships in this matching program and provided scholarships for their kids.

The Kids 2 Camp program is only possible because of the generous contributions from many, many people.

Now the process starts all over again for the 11th year. If you would like to help, you may give a gift through our website, or mark your gift for the Kids 2 Camp program and mail it to the Camp. We also ask you to pray for this ministry to marginalized children and youth, that they will see Jesus’ love in every part of their camp experience, and return home with changed lives. Thank you for your prayers.

Provision for the Humble

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 NLT What comes to the humble is incredible. Reflection I have come to love the word humble. I love it for what it doesn’t mean: Proud, self-seeking, scheming, pushy, demanding, looking out for #1, status focused, and the insistence of being the brightest and best in the room. Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
