Ed Young Camp Scholarship Foundation

Ed Young Camp Scholarship Foundation Equipping the Next Generation Through Faith and Opportunity. We assist in funding youth and missionaries in the Houston Area to attend camps or trips.

For over a decade, Ed Young served as a camp counselor and Dean Of Men at Lakeview Methodist Summer Camp. He saw first-hand the positive impact this experience had on children. He believed that this one week experience could forever change a young person's life and that no child should miss camp due to financial restrictions. In his memory, we continue to support this effort through his foundation.

This past Sunday we received an AMAZING update from an entire group of students we supported this year. They accomplished so much but even more they grew stronger in their faith.

Those that continue to give, you have no idea the impact you are making on these students and kids that attend these week long camps.

If you would just for a moment step back, realize that these kids are taking one week out of their summer to bond with their community, but also dig deeper into what Jesus has for them as they continue to grow. Imagine if you could take a week off of work and do nothing but worship, pray and dig deeper within your community. I believe we would all be in a much better place than we are today!

To say it’s been a summer so far is an understatement!! This year has been no different than the last! So far we have supported 3 foster kids with funds to pay down thier trip to camp and we also made a larger donation to a local church who is determined to send all of thier youth to camp without any financial burden - yes they want thier kids fully supported by thier surrounding church family. We felt moved by this and gave a donation towards thier goal!! Helping 16 kids see thier camp trip cost shrink!! We continue to take in donations of any size with the promise to stay on mission every year until our account reaches 0$. Thankfully “fishes and loaves” continue and the account stays the same or at least grows each year. Help us stay on mission please consider giving yearly or a 1 time donation! None of the board members nor the foundation has any costs so every dollar goes to the kids!!!

God bless!!!

Our Summer Update!

02/02/2023

Good morning!!! it’s February 2 and we are about to start embarking on our late winter/early spring fundraising attempts!!!! stay tuned as we hope this will be the biggest year yet! March and April we hope to pull in enough funds for 10+ students. Most funds for church camp are due around these times or at least deposits are, with the final payments ending around May and July. Help us reach our goal which we are setting for ourselves at $5,000!!! Any amount helps and of course we will be posting updates continuously!!

We kept it quite while we worked with our banks, but several weeks ago our fund was drained dry from an outside bank that we have never worked with. THANKFULLY our bank made quick work and their fraud team went after the lost funds and we got every penny back (Lords favor) - most times this doesn’t happen. We are 100% funded by gracious donors and we are still going strong so many later.

Coming in the new year we are working on better ways to give and “success stories” of those we support so you can see the impact the fund makes!
We continue to seek yearly donors and NO ONE on the foundation is employed or receives any money. We are committed to carrying the torch the Ed wanted and help the next generation get equipped and grow in their faith!!

Summer is almost coming to an end and so is church camps! WE HAVE BEEN ON MISSION this year for sure! We have sent out 1 missionary to another country and 7 kids with full camp support. Many others got that last little chunk to summer faith filled camps this year. This is 100% by the generosity of everyone that follows us and gives to our fund. WE SAY THANK YOU and the families say thanks you. Please consider giving or supporting 1 camper each year! reach out to us for more details. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Good morning all - with some normalcy returning this year campers WILL be going to camp and the need is even greater than before. We continue to accept donations in hopes that every child that wishes to go and experience the love of Christ has that opportunity.

We are sponsoring another camper this year and it just so happens this is thier final year they are able to return! We are humbled that we still get to continue to support this vision that Ed Young left us with and we continue to steward today!

Please message us if you are interested in giving up or becoming a yearly supporter. Average camp costs upwards of $500 and Eds goal was to see that money was not going to stand in the way of breakthrough for any child!

We are pleased to announce that we have chosen Miss Jadah Gonzalez as a recipient of a gift from the foundation today. She will be on mission in South Africa spreading the gospel as a missionary. We are thankful for her accepting the call to “Go out!”. Help us support her as well in prayer and if you would like to support her 3 month mission you can find the link below to give directly to her mission total. We hoped that church camps would be back in session however it has allowed us to support this missionary this year! Help us wish her well and cover her in prayer.

Growing up I used to always tell my friends and family �I think it would be so cool to go to Africa one day and learn about the culture there and help the schools and kids who don\'t know and have as much as we do here.� At the time I had no idea this was going to end up coming to life on a miss...
