Christmas in July

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Sounds weird we know, but, for a Camp Hope Camper, it means being able to enjoy camp to the fullest! Sadly, most of our kids show up to camp with only the clothes on their backs for the entire week! Unimaginable, isn’t it, for us East Cobbers!?

So, you can help in one or both of TWO WAYS, 1) Purchase a $15.00 to $25.00 gift certificate (or more if you can!) to either Wal-Mart or Target, bring it by the Camp Hope office, or place in the Camp Hope mail box in the staff kitchen during the month of June, OR, 2) come to our “Christmas in July” Christmas tree, which will be in the connector at the end of June, and take a “need” slip off of the tree. These “need slips” will cover everything from specific clothes and snacks to bedding and pillows.

I pray you can help us make this camp a memorable one for our kids. God Bless!

Rev. Diane Parrish

interns4tomorrow Update!

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Monday was a great day for the kidz2leaders’ ministry.  We hosted our first interns4tomorrow meeting!  Program Director, Nancy Jakaitis, has been hard at work since she started at the Camp Hope office back in October to develop the interns4tomorrow program.   After eligible students completed an application and performed three interviews at the Camp Hope office, 11 interns were selected.  The 2009 interns are: Kwanza Cole, Alexis Dulaney, Jamil Harris, Brittany Johnson, Trey Ledbetter, Marcus Leverette, Travis Leverette, Allen Mathis, Michael Mathis, Brittney Putnam and Chelsey Robinson.

Monday marked the first of many mandatory meetings for the interns where they will learn business etiquette and get prepared for their summer internships at area businesses.  The interns will also hear from different business individuals at each meeting.

The group visited local restaurant, Ritter’s, to hear from owner and chef, Ritter Jones, on Monday as well.
