7 Days. 800 miles. One cause.

One of my favorite things in the world is taking kids to Young Life camp. The first time I went was four years ago at Timberwolf. I’ve gone back there a couple times, to Castaway and Frontier Ranch. Knowing how awesome camp is and the good it can do in kids lives makes we want to go to great extremes to get kids there.

So when I learned a couple months ago The Dale House (where I worked last year) needed some help sending their kids to Young Life camp this year I had to do something. I took the kids last year and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to see the kids that went have so many first experiences, step outside their comfort zone, but most importantly got to see how accepted and loved they felt by getting to go to camp. Most of the kids grow up in abusive and neglectful environments. Watching them go to a camp where they are treated like royalty, get to know so many new friends, and are truly loved for who they are was one of the most amazing representations of how God loves people that I’ve ever seen. I know for a fact it changed those kids lives.

Coming back to Michigan I started being a Young Life leader again and know there is a monetary need here in Holland to send kids to camp as well. When I heard the DHP needed help too I knew I just had to do something. I really wanted every kid who wants to go to camp to be able to go and saw a need.
