Through the "Reach 100" challenge, A†KB hopes to assist campers in financial need as well as provide each child with a positive and lasting impression of their value as a child of God.
Statistics show that resident summer camp experiences improve self-confidence, communication skills, problem solving, and help children learn how to play creatively with others. All of these things impact values and build better leaders in our community. It is our desire to be leaders in building a new hope for children in our community.
A gift of any size will help us provide for kids who need to spend time with a great Christian Role model in a safe environment.
