The second type of support we are asking for is straight up financial support for our Birthday Party! The cost of the birthday party rentals is $365. This covers bouncy houses, waterslides and a dunk tank for the midweek birthday celebration for every child at camp.

Our leadership team (some of us) in Texas for the annual LIFT Conference! We had Texas BBQ and way too much fun. Three of us attended the in-person component to the second-ever training on connection coaching, a way to help camp volunteers understand campers and meet their unique needs.

Nurturing connection is a universal human need—it is how children learn safety, trust, and a sense of belonging in the world. For children who have experienced trauma, consistent care and supportive relationships are especially critical because healing often happens through safe, reliable connections with adults. At camp and mentor club, caring counselors and staff can provide that steady presence, offering encouragement, attention, and warmth that help children feel valued and supported.

We’re grateful for the individuals and many local businesses—both large and small—who donated goods and services to our silent auction. Because of your generosity, we met and even exceeded our fundraising goals.

The funds raised will support practical needs, including camp experiences and our ongoing Mentor Club for children in foster care and adoption. These programs give kids safe spaces to belong, grow, and experience God’s love in everyday ways.

Thank you for being part of this important work.

P.S. 20 tags per post is a dumb rule, as we had over 200 donations come in for this fundraiser. So, instead of attempting to tag every business, organization and human who donated, we will say, simply, thank you! Your generosity, while perhaps not published here for the world to see, will have an impact far beyond what you can even imagine.

It’s about the being with.

Research shows that safe, loving relationships can actually repair brain chemistry — lowering stress hormones and boosting connection chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine. That’s why at camp, every hug, every laugh, and every moment of belonging helps rewire hearts and minds for hope, trust, and joy.
