Dear Friends in Christ,

Praying this finds everyone blessed and doing well.

Camp Hope Bereavement Camps dates are: July 3-5 & July 31-Aug 2.

The time is fast approaching for our summer camp and we have not heard from you. Our children need support during their time of need and not just at our convenience. If our buildings are not complete it's okay, we will do it the cowboy way and use tents, making it even a more exciting adventure and time of healing.

Often times we forget that a busy schedule of making things "nicer and better" steals precious time from our children who just need our love, attention, time, and an open heart that will listen to theirs. Making things "perfect" doesn't necessarily make them better, so we will not further delay the camp. We will have a blessed up, prayed up, cowboy up good time of heart mending.

We will have a trick rider, chuck-wagon cooking, horseback riding and roping for the kids, crafts and games, and loads of singing round the campfire, not to mention cowboy church under the stars, learning to share grief with others having experienced similar losses, all within the beautiful creation and setting of 950 acres of GOD's magnificent outdoors. Yes GOD is providing, but we do have needs...we need YOU!

We need your help in finding kids and family members to come to this FREE camp. We need volunteers to give of their time, love, and service to help by being a buddy for the kids, helping with cooking, chores around the camp, helping care for the horses, using their talents, such as camp nurse, counselor, etc..
We NEED your prayers for strength to complete what God has called us to do and HE would be pleased.

We also need supplies such as: sleeping bags, cots, bed lines, pillows, dish soap, paper plates, paper cups, eating utensils, laundry soap,panels for horses,hay making cookies, food for camp and any number of other things that might be at your disposal, or on your heart to donate to the camp. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization and it is tax deductable.

Here is some other ways to help sponsor a child
(1) sponser a child -average cost is around 100.00 per child
(2) Place your loved ones name on the living Memorial Wall on the website for a 50.00 donation.
(3) Plant a tree in Memory of your loved one and the tree will be planted at Camp Hope for a donation of 75.00.

If GOD has placed a child or children, and or surviving family members on your heart, please let them know about us. If you wish to be a volunteer for the camp, please contact us soon, for time is growing short for registration. Please go to our website at www.camphopebereavement.com for further information, such as downloadable applications for both the children and volunteers. Please email to everyone in your contact list.

With Compassion,
