Gratitude ahead:
Thanks to an incredible gift from , 23 of our Corner65 program youth spent an unforgettable week at Camp Asbury! The congregation's generosity provided sleeping bags, duffel bags, towels, water bottles, sunscreen, bug spray, swimsuits, and every other essential needed to ensure each child could fully participate.
An additional thank you to Brecksville UMC's Sew4Good sewists, who lovingly sewed and embroidered a personalized pillowcase for every camper. These thoughtful gifts were a huge hit and quickly became treasured keepsakes, reminding our youth that they are deeply valued.
For many American families, summer camp is a tradition passed down through generations. For many of our newcomer youth, this was their very first camp experience. They spent the week building friendships, trying new adventures, growing in confidence, and simply getting to be kids. The greatest measure of the week's success came at pickup, when many campers were in tears because they didn't want the week to end. Others were already talking about returning one day as counselors.
This gift gave 23 young people more than a week at camp--it gave them memories, confidence, belonging, and an experience that will stay with them for a lifetime. Thank you, , for making it possible!
