Camp for Kids is a free week-long camp for children of inmates to spend time with other kids in similar situations, hear about Jesus, and have a lot of fun.
Designed to be a time of encouragement, learning, and fun, where children of inmates and ex-prisoners spend time with other kids with a parent in prison, hear the gospel, learn valuable interpersonal skills, and have a lot of fun. For some of these kids, Camp for Kids is the only thing they look forward to each year.
Impact
Children of inmates spend time with their peers
Christian mentors speak life into these kids
Guardians and carers enjoy a break while knowing the kids are cared for
Testimonials
“The self-esteem that I got from the activities at Camp was huge. The games focused not just on physical activity, but they targeted our emotional well-being. That was a very new concept to me and it was really cool to hear young people saying nice things about me because in school that didn’t happen. It helped me build my sense of self-worth.”

“Camp was the first place I really experienced healthy love. I would display a lot of positive behaviours post-camp, as well. I felt in control of my own life after spending a week away with these amazing people that just lift you up.”
