We held a Christian camp in Elkland, Pa. in July with the area churches, Valley Community Parish, Nelson Yoked, and Elkland Presb. working together to organize and seek funding for this event for the children in our communities. 81 children attended the 3 day camp in Elkland and 60 traveled to Krislund for an overnight stay at the camp.
The cost per child was $150.00 and donations from the Deerfield grant, collections from churches, and local buisnesses paid the fee for each child attending. Volunteers fed the children and counselors who attended the camp. Housing was provided free of charge to the counselors sent from Krislund and bussing to Krislund was also provided for the children attending the overnight at Krislund. Enough funds were collected so each child attending the overnight recieved a $10.00 T-Shirt.
The children could not wait to come back each day and the praise and joy of Jesus could be heard throughout the town. What a wonderful blessing for our children and the community.
We already have dates set for next year and are plannning on 100 children!
