As temperatures rise here in the Deep South so has the violence. In the week after schools completed their spring term a 13 year old boy was arrested for violently shooting a man sitting on his front porch–in broad daylight. His partner was fifteen. Both face long prison sentences, and the summer has only just begun.
Trinity Christian Community provides an alternative. This summer we will provide opportunities for youth from 5 to 18. For elementary students we will provide six weeks of day camp full of fun activities, caring mentors and enriching field trips. For our teens we will provide two weeks of sleepaway camp at Youth Conference Ministry’s “Fun in the Son” and “The Great Escape.” They will also have weekly Bible studies and weekly fun activities.
Several of our youth will work as camp counselors, being productive and “giving back” for all the great things they have received here at TCC over the years. And, from across the country, young people will descend upon TCC for weeklong mission trips where they serve the less fortunate and grow in their faith.
It’s a busy summer.
We need your help. Please sponsor a student. Day camp costs $300. Fun in the Son costs and the Great Escape cost $415. While we ask each camper to pay something, few can afford the cost of camp which means TCC needs to raise approximately $25,000 this summer. Every dollar you give provides life-changing value to youth who live in vulnerable communities, at-risk of becoming the next crime casualty.
