We want to thank you for allowing us to take part in Camp Joy this past summer. We are grateful for the time we had to learn more about the Lord and for the wonderful memories we made with other campers and staff. Without your assistance , this would not have been possible. We truly appreciate your support and generosity, and we look forward to attending Camp Joy again next year.
Thank you! – Uriah & Maverick
As a side-note, we heard good things about your counselor from our son Louie today. He really appreciated that the counselor took the time to listen to him and have some theological discussion that was very respectful in tone. He said that he has loved all of his counselors, but he feels that his counselor this year has been the best one he has ever had because he is such a good listener. It meant a lot to Louie that his counselor told him he was a good critical thinker and would make a good theologian one day. Having those things called out in him really built him up and encouraged him. He dove back into his devotional as soon as we got home, determined to get the whole thing completed. We really appreciate the ministry impact on our kids! The efforts you are putting into the staff and the campers is making a difference. Thank you for all you do!
