"It's really beautiful watching them grieve for the first time and having the chance to say what they need to say and really let go of it,"—Suzanna
The questions on camp intake forms are usually standard. What grade is the child going into? Is she allergic to bee stings? Is this his first time away from home?
But not at My Camp. Camp director Suzanna Jacobson asks about the tough stuff: economic hardship, divorce, abuse. The 11 questions on the My Camp intake form cover "ACEs"—adverse childhood experiences. And at a camp that serves only kids whose lives have been touched by incarceration, addiction, or both, high ACE scores are common.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
