Summer Enrichment Camp Program for Native American Youth
"Since the 1980's, AICM has hosted Summer Enrichment Camps for Native American children. As soon as school is out, volunteers from across the country come to AICM’s campus to conduct these sessions for us".
Children are brought in from the Reservations to our school campus and enjoy Bible lessons, praise and worship services, crafts, sports and recreation and lots of swimming. Because of their participation and experiences in the summer programs, we have had several children return and become students at the mission’s boarding school.
We usually host four camps each summer. Camps weeks run from Sunday - Thursday. Each week is designed per age group. We offer a camp for 7-9 year olds, one for 10-12 year olds, and another for Jr. High and High School. The High School camp is a “High Adventure Camp” that includes running through an obstacle course on our campus, hiking on trials that are off campus and camping in tents.
We would love to have your church or organization run one of these camps. We normally pick up 20-40 campers, so make sure you have a team of 20 or more. You can pick what age group you want to work with. Most teams use VBS materials for the lessons and activities. AICM provides the food for the campers and the team.
Have you gone to church camp? How did it impact your life? Think about the difference a week at camp could make for a Native American child. Talk to your minister about coming to AICM and leading a week of camp, or even leading a VBS on the Reservation.
Call the main office at: (928) 537-5912 and ask for Angela to get more information about bringing a group out to help at camp...it will change the people in your group as much as it will change the kids you are ministering to.
