The kids at the Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Center had a great day today at the EdVenture Museum! They had so much fun exploring, learning, and making memories together. We can’t wait to cool off and enjoy a day of swimming tomorrow! ☀️🏊‍♀️😊

The kids at the Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Center had a great day today! We started the morning with our reading logs, and two of our kids were excited to turn theirs in today. We enjoyed devotion, arts and crafts, and lunch before heading to the splash pad to cool off. Afterward, the kids had a blast creating their own treats at our ice cream sundae bar. It was a fun-filled day, and we are excited for tomorrow as we head to EDventure Children’s Museum for another great adventure! 🍦☀️📚🎨🚌

What does one week of camp mean to a child in need?

It means laughter echoing through the trees.
It means stories around the campfire.
It means knowing they're loved by Jesus and by people like you.

Every child we send to camp receives more than just food and fun — they receive encouragement, purpose, and the chance to grow in faith and confidence.

Your support can be the reason a child says, “That was the best week of my life.”
