Camp Cheer – Another dream becoming a reality!
Monday, June 29th, 2009
We are so excited to announce a new outreach opportunity for Clouds of Hope! In the fall, Clouds of Hope will be partnering with the Special Needs Ministry at First Baptist Church of Temple Terrace to bring families of children with special needs a much needed break! Once a month, we will offer a time of respite for these families!
Camp CHEER is a chance for Children with special needs to Have fun and be Encouraged while their parents Experience Rest!
Our desire from the beginning has been to reach out to groups and organizations who support families dealing with life altering illnesses. The dream of respite care was one that the Special Needs Ministry at First Baptist had been working on, but now thanks to God’s perfect timing, it can become a reality.
Sound exciting? You can be a part! We are in need of “camp counselors.” We will provide all of the training you need! Mark your calendars for Friday, August 28. We will provide dinner and offer you the information you need to be a successful “counselor” to our wonderful “campers.” No experience necessary – we just need your willing heart and a commitment of about 6 hours a month.
We are also in search of campers! If you are a family with a special needs child or you know of a family who might benefit from a program like this, please contact us! We want to be able to reach out to any family in need! On Saturday, August 29 we will have our Camp Registration Day coupled with an exciting Family Fun Day for these families!
For more information, just click on the contact us tab on the right. Send us your information and we will get back to you as soon as possible!
Keep your eyes out for more information as we get closer! But for now, mark your calendars for Friday, August 28 for Volunteer training and a fun family registration day on Saturday, August 29. Our first official Camp Cheer date will be September 26!
