CAMP BALAAM -
June 26-30, 2011
Camp Balaam is a day camp for
needy 3rd - 5th graders from homes near the camp in Wilkinson County. Rising 11th
and 12th graders are picked to serve as counselors for this event. These
counselors get the opportunity to share the gospel with many kids who have
never attended camp and some who do not have a church home. The curriculum
also helps teach the kids manners and self worth.
WE NEED FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THIS CAMP
We need help funding this year’s
camp. It costs $20 a day for these kids to come to camp. The total bill
for the camp will depend on attendance, but with attendance around 60 the
cost should be about $3,600 which includes a Camp T-shirt for each
camper. The counselors
pay to attend and this takes care of their expenses and other administrative
costs. We could
use your help with raising the money needed to cover the day camper costs.

Teen Counselors with your gifts!
“Camp Balaam impacted my life in many
ways. Through Camp Balaam I got the privilege of working with children
and sharing in three days of spiritual experiences with them. Over the
three days I formed a special relationship with the children and the
other counselors.” Counselor, Christy Allgood
“Campers and counselors have come to Camp
Christian for Camp Balaam each summer for close to 30 years, I had the
good fortune to serve as a youth counselor at Camp Balaam and have
served as Co-Director. Balaam was significant in my call to ministry
because it was one of the earliest opportunities for me to discover my
leadership gifts. Through serving at Balaam as a counselor I was able to
develop these gifts while sharing God’s love with the children we
served.” Counselor, Director, Pastor Danny Gulden
Thank you for your gifts, prayers, support and
