Summer Camp.

Is there anything else like it? Several youth living at Christ’s Haven had the opportunity to attend Pine Cove camp this summer. It was an incredible week of fun activities, spiritual renewal, new friendships, and lifelong memories. 

There are so many important ways youth can grow emotionally and spiritually by going away to camp for the week. Providing this experience is another example of what we mean when we talk about our core value of instilling normalcy in the lives of displaced youth. 

We are grateful to Pine Cove Camps and all of the volunteers at Restoration Church who helped make this happen. From decorated trunks full of everything you could need at camp to helping with transportation to raising funds for registration, your support gave youth so many lifelong memories. 

If you think back to childhood summers, memories probably include a vacation. We believe formative memories on vacation are an important way we can provide normalcy in the lives of displaced youth at Christ’s Haven.

Our teenagers recently returned from New Mexico after a summer trip full of activities like whitewater rafting, rock climbing, fishing, horseback riding, and more. It was a fun week of adventures full of new experiences and opportunities to be stretched outside of comfort zones.

Thank you to Sportsmen’s Club of Fort Worth for underwriting a portion of the trip, to the staff who planned all of the details, and to volunteer mentors, JD & Casey, for spending their week with us.

A week of vacation and a lifetime of memories!
