Opportunities to Serve and Support foster children at Help One Child's Signs of Hope Camp 2010
Signs of Hope Camp is a one-week residential summer camp, August 15th-20th, ministering to foster children ages 7-12 from San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties and the surrounding areas. Our camp extends Christian love and care, with adults modeling a positive way of life as an alternative to many of the negative situations which foster children have faced. This year, SOHC will partner with Mount Hermon’s Redwood Camp, utilizing their experience and facilities to help us provide a camp environment where the children Signs of Hope Camp serves can thrive and flourish. Each counselors is responsible for just 3 campers, allowing the campers to receive plenty of individual attention from compassionate and supportive adults.
How can one week make a difference?
We offer them a healthy dose of HOPE. Hope that they can triumph over their past, have victory over their circumstances and look forward to their future. We impart to them that they are a wonderfully-made treasure...uniquely GIFTED, exceedingly CAPABLE, absolutely VALUABLE and truly LOVABLE!
How can you make a difference?
• Serve for the week of August 15th at camp. Volunteers are still needed to fill the Breakfast Club Leader, Counselor, Crew Member roles. Each counselor position filled means 3 more campers can come to camp!
• Serve one evening at the SOHC carnival on Wednesday, August 18th. Volunteers are needed to set up, run each carnival station and clean up afterward.
• Support the camp financially. The camp is free to the foster children we serve, but the cost for Signs of Hope is $350 per child. Consider sponsoring all or part of a child week at camp or think about doing a fundraiser! You can donate online at the website below or mail at check to Help One Child. ***Please note in the comments section online or note on your check that you heard about the camp via Impact!!!
• Support the camp with prayer. SOHC volunteers and campers desperately need your prayers before and during the week of camp! As a member of the prayer team you will receive a weekly prayer focus via email.
