Interns4Tomorrow are off to a great start!

All interns kicked off the 2021 summer with a final day of preparation at Jackson Healthcare, where they practiced their “elevator pitch”, participated in a series of mock interviews with JHC professionals and sat for their professional head shots.

Everyone reported to work on Monday, June 7, to begin their three-week internships.  We are grateful to Jackson Healthcare for hosting us for the day of final preparation.  Thanks to our four business partners who have graciously welcomed interns this summer – Jackson Healthcare, CIO Partners, Marietta Center for Advanced Academics and Refuge Church.

Fall Family Retreat was a GREAT SUCCESS!

We were so excited to host 15 families for an in-person weekend of fun, faith and renewal at Camp Twin Lakes – Rutledge.  Not even Hurricane Delta could dampen our spirits!  Many thanks to our staff, Volunteer Family Pals and wonderful folks at Camp Twin Lakes who made this possible.  Just take a look at the fun we had!

Announcing our New Alumni Program: ON PATH

During a season filled with endless cancellations, we are excited to announce the launch of a new program for Kidz2Leaders Alumni, in partnership with Thomas Cotton of Redemption Advancement Alliance!

Thomas Cotton – Camp Hope pastor, board member, and friend to our alumni – will teach his curriculum during 18 sessions, through a combination of virtual and “distant” but in-person settings, to a small group of 10 alumni.

Once training is complete, Thomas will provide extensive one-on-one coaching to participants, helping them re-focus on their goals for their futures as Christian leaders in their communities.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing, and perfect will.”

–  Romans 12:2

Fall Family Retreat is this weekend!

Final Plans are in place for a great Fall Family Retreat this weekend!

We have decided to consolidate our original two weekend plan and are now offering ONE retreat weekend in October. Please keep everyone in your prayers to have a safe and exciting weekend with our Camp Hope Family!

October 9-11, 2020

Where: Camp Twin Lakes – Rutledge, GA

 

Each family will provide their own transportation to/from camp, and we will provide a $50 gas card to you.

We understand that you and your family may have some hesitations about attending an overnight retreat with the risks associated with Covid-19, but we want to assure you that your safety and health is our utmost priority. We have attached a document with all of the guidelines that we will follow throughout the weekend.

RETREAT GUIDELINES

Registration is now closed, but look for details in the spring for our next Family Retreat.

Camp Hope Update

It was a joy to connect with dozens of our camper families in June and July through our new Camp2U program. While we had hoped that our next step could be a weekend retreat for campers this fall, the health risks of a children’s event remain high. We are excited, instead, to offer two family retreats, one September 25-27 and one  October 9-11.

Family retreats will be an opportunity for our campers, with their caregivers and other household members, to get out of the house and into a fun, loving environment where they can grow closer to God, and closer to their family. A number of health measures will be in place to ensure these retreats are safe and that risk is limited. Please stay tuned for registration details.
