This August FORTY(!!!) joyful, curious, and energetic kids will come running through the doors of LAC for our second summer of Compassion Camp. What a blessing these children are to our church! However, by no means is this an easy task. It takes A LOT of preparation. This work is holy and sacred, and it’s messy! It’s loud! It is kinetic and creative, and most of all, IT IS WORTH IT. Last summer’s Compassion Camp was such a success because of the faithful and caring dedication of the volunteers.
Last year, Liz Nabholz organized recreation time. “What I thought might be a challenging experience turned into a very rewarding one,” said Liz. “The kids were well-behaved and I am so glad I got to know them!”
Louise Williams helped with various hands-on learning activities. “The program was great—important themes, well-organized schedules, lots of support and teamwork. The mornings were full!” said Louise. “I really enjoyed working with our enthusiastic young campers, and meeting some of the parents. I’m looking forward to lots more fun this summer!”
Patty Towle's nature activities were a big hit! "It was so great to work with these amazing kids, and I felt I had a whole team to support me with my projects," said Patty. "One thing particularly uplifting was the spirited and loving vibe going on as we all shared this experience."
Compassion Camp 2025: Changing the World with Loving-Kindness is just around the corner and we need YOU to help make it the best week of the summer! Whether you're a master of crafts, a snack-time superstar, a game guru, or just someone who loves seeing kids grow in faith, joy, and compassion—there's a place for you here. There is no advanced preparation and you can help as little or as much as your schedule allows.
What I love the most about LAC is the love that you all have for its children, so together let’s continue to live out our promise to be active participants in building a community where children are nurtured and loved!
