Every year we have an exceptional time at Embrace Family Camp! This year we had 13 wonderful families and over 60+ volunteers that made it all possible!

Special thanks to our camp speaker Whitney and ALL our amazing volunteers and youth groups that came from Grace Church Dover and Redeemer East Side to make family camp an even greater experience!

We couldn’t do any of it without our donors, supporters, and prayer warriors! Thank you to New City Church, Avenue United Methodist Church, Three Stones Church, and Calvary Church for always loving, supporting, and praying for Embrace!

A huge shoutout to Refreshing Mountain Retreat & Adventure Center for always providing a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for our volunteers and families to thrive and shine!
