OK - it's July. I'm in Israel. It is hot... so,so hot - it is cooking eggs on the sidewalk hot. Yet for the last week or so I have been thinking about Christmas. Why? Because I have been busy preparing a large order of olive wood nativities and Christmas decorations to go to South Carolina, USA.
These are on their way to a fundraising even that is being held in September to raise money for Camp Gravatt.
Camp Gravatt offers boys and girls from first through twelfth grade a Christian-centered, community-based summer camp experience, focused on demonstrating God's unconditional love to every camper. The Camp Gravatt program and activities include most of the traditional things associated with camp--archery, arts and crafts, canoeing, nature, time to play and swim in the lake, challenge course events, campfires, songs, skits, as well as time for worshipping and developing camp community.
For all activities, the philosophy at Camp Gravatt is to provide a fun, rewarding experience for each camper. Camp Gravatt staff members work to nurture and develop campers' self-esteem, rather than their competitive expertise in a particular sport or skill. The goals of the camp experience are for campers to grow spiritually, make friends, share in an affirming, Christian camp community, and have a lot of fun in a safe and healthy outdoor environment.
800 children attended Camp Gravatt attended in 2010 - some of these receiving a scholarship from the $10,000 scholarship fund currently available. There were also 28 children of the incarcerated who attended at no charge. It is hoped that next year there will be even more children attending with a larger scholarship fund and that more places for children of the incarcerated will be offered.
HolyRoses wishes Camp Gravatt every success in their fundraising efforts for this very worthy cause and invites other non-profit organizations, churches, hospitals and schools to be in contact to hear about other fundraising opportunities available.
