COINS FOR CAMPERS
This is a project we began at our camps in 2007.
Many children and teenagers in Eastern Europe live in great physical and emotional poverty. Each year, our mission partners Mission Without Borders and Tumaini Children's Centre, seeks to provide the means for some of these needy young people to attend Summer Camp, where they experience the love, joy and challenge of Christian camping. For those able to attend, it is like a dream come true. Sometimes, the experience is life changing.
We realise that leaders and campers in our own C’s camps can do something to help. A relatively small amount of money is all it takes to sponsor a camper in Kenya, Moldova, Ukraine, or elsewhere in Eastern Europe. A few dollars given by a small number of our campers enables a needy young person in Eastern Europe or Africa the chance to attend a camp, in some ways similar to our own, yet so far away.
On every children's camp, there is a time set aside to give to “Coins for Campers”, and to tell the campers about the difference they are making to someone else’s life.
For each dollar that is raised on camps, the ‘Camping Committee’ matches the funds dollar for dollar as a part of The Camping Program’s mission giving.
We have been able to give over $28,000 towards these campers since we began in 2007!!

TESTIMONY
Could you please pass on our thanks to all of the Camping Program team for the gift for Tumaini Camp. The camp is a highlight of their year and very important in the lives of the whole community, particularly the youth. While we were over there on a recent trip, some of the high school girls were excitedly telling me about the camp and seeing God move. Vivian told me “You must come next year and experience it for yourself!” The Tumaini high school students have to board away from Tumaini in term time and the Director, Rose, finds it a big thing to see them go out from under her care. The camp is important for keeping their faith strong as they grow up into adulthood so thank you again for supporting us.
