Twelve-year-old Lucy dreams of becoming a camp counselor someday—an idea that began at Camp Agape in Oregon. Her mom, Jennifer, says that camp changed her child's life.
They first learned about Angel Tree Camping®, a program of Prison Fellowship®, from faculty at Lucy's elementary school. Through scholarships and partnerships, the program makes Christian camp possible for children with a parent behind bars.
Before she ever saw the lush beauty of an Oregon campground, Lucy had seen things no child should, including a parent’s arrest. The family lost their home when Lucy’s dad went to prison. They had no relatives nearby to help. For a time, they lived out of their car, then at a shelter. Now they're in a house of their own again.
