Camp Noah is a weeklong, faith-based day camp offered for elementary-age children in grades K-6 who have experienced disaster. It is staffed by trained camp counselors and is supported additionally by a local mental health professional. Camp Noah combines disaster recovery support for children with fun-filled recreation to form a unique and healing experience!
I just came across this blog and learning more about Camp Noah. I am encouraged to see such ministry, especially the opportunity to teach youth on leading and caring for others during difficult times. My prayer is for a new generation of Christ followers to come from this program - God Bless!
