Real Stories of Giving

The fantastic camp staff has always made both of my children feel important and special regardless of the fact that every year they would not be able to go without the continued help of the Open Doors Program.  Chase has decided that as soon as he is old enough he wants to be a camp counselor during the summer before going to the Air Force Academy and during his summer break while attending the academy.  Miranda is not quite as planned out yet but  she just loves going to camp and meeting new friends.  

 

I am quite sure that we are not the only family that has benefited from these wonderful places and people, or that could not have been able to experience this without the help of scholarships.  Thank you for continuing to make it possible for me to be able to send my children to camp, where for one week each year they can just be kids.

Last year, my husband and I borrowed the money to send Jeffery Smith and Stephanie Smith (our grandchildren) to resident camp.  Their home life leaves a lot to be desired.  My daughter and her husband were on the cusp of divorce last summer and your camp was the highlight of the year for Jeffery and Stephanie, they are STILL talking about it!  It was worth every borrowed cent!!
