It’s been a busy time in the Camp Hope office this summer. Not only have we been planning the 11th Camp Hope, but we have organized some fun events for our kids.
On June 19, 13 Leadership boys went to Stone Mountain for the day. They did Sky Hike – Stone Mountain’s ropes course and then took the tram to the top of the mountain for a devotion.
Three Leadership girls came for a day of service at the Camp Hope office and helped us with some projects for camp. One Leadership girl helped Mt. Bethel with VBS.
Today was the Mentor/Mentee Braves game. Five Mentors took their Mentees to the Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers game at Turner Field.
Next up….Camp Hope in TWO WEEKS!!!
Blessings!

11 students in the interns4tomorrrow program left for New York City on Thursday, June 24 for a fun and educational trip. For some of them, this was their first visit to New York City and for others, it was their first trip on an airplane. The trip has been a memorable one, and I have been receiving daily updates on their adventures as well as pictures taken by one of the students, Jamil Harris.
Day 1: After landing in the big city, they attended a meeting at Wells Fargo on the 42nd floor of the building, ate dinner and saw The Lion King on Broadway.
Day 2: Some of the kids saw Chris Rock this morning on their way to the Today Show! Afterwards, the students rode the subway to a private tour and scavenger hunt at The Museum of American Finance on Wall Street. They visited Ground Zero, rode a ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Dinner in Chinatown was excellent followed with shopping at Macy’s on 34th street. The night ended on the 102nd floor of the Empire State.
Day 3: The girls spent the day shopping and sightseeing. The guys attended the Mets game and visited Central Park. We all took the subway to Brooklyn for pizza for dinner. While having ice cream at a food festival, we saw a NYC pre-4th spectacular fireworks display. We ended the night walking across the Brooklyn Bridge Building.
Day 4: The interns come home!!!
Blessings,
Cris
