The Convoy of Hope truck entered our gates this past week, bringing snacks, drinks, and treats to fuel Campers, Missionaries, and Staff all summer long! Their delivery included a truck full of items like Gatorade, snack bars and chips, cleaning supplies, paper goods, toilet paper, paper towels, and much more. We are so thankful to have partners who provide in-kind donations that help us offset camp costs, allowing us to direct more resources to Camper programs and activities. We are so grateful for Convoy of Hope’s partnership and support.

One year ago today, Camp Barnabas was hit by a devastating storm. In the middle of the damage, we saw something even greater—God’s faithfulness.
Through volunteers, prayers, and donors, Camp Barnabas was restored just in time to welcome our Campers.
We saw God’s faithfulness through you. Thank you for being part of this story.
As we move through the stormy months of the year, we continue praying for safety, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another incredible summer at camp.
