Summer Camps Conclude
Story
This past Tuesday night, Mission Arlington® concluded its sixth free summer camp of the season. Over nine hundred campers (932) joined the fun through the month of July.
Mission Arlington® held six (6) different camps this summer: three (3) for smaller children (k-3rd), two (2) for older children (4th-6th grade), and one youth camp (7th – 12th).
Children & youth who attend these camps invite their neighbors & friends. Volunteer Bible study leaders from our congregations pick up the campers, then make the round-trip transport to and from these camps.
The younger children’s camps are held in central Arlington. The older children’s camps are hosted by the wonderful team at Camp Thurman, and the youth camp happened again this year at SJ Stovall Park. Each camp has activities which are age appropriate. The younger children, for example, enjoy crafts, obstacle courses, running games, fun & silly songs, and more. The older children enjoy zip lines, Tarzan swings, water slides, and more.
The students from each of our camps receive a hearty meal. The students hear a lesson from God’s word, taught at their level. Our volunteers enjoy spending the day with these students at every level.
We are so honored and blessed to walk the journey with these young people. We are so grateful for the support of this community as we share God’s love with students of all ages through these camps.
We are already looking forward to next year.
