Spiritual Life Youth Thousands of children from low-income families enjoy fresh air, exercise, and new friendships annually at Salvation Army summer resident and day camp programs. This camping experience is more than just a pleasant vacation.
Children learn new skills and self-reliance.
Trained counselors are on hand who understand their emotional needs and problems while helping them to mature socially and spiritually in their Christian faith. Contacts are maintained after the children return home. Often, entire families receive the benefits from these camping experiences through expanded services. Senior citizens also find recreation at camp sessions. Plus, many camps sponsored by The Salvation Army are winterized for year-round use by young people and adults.
