Mission trips to Africa 2024

This week-long camp for the children and youth is packed with fun games, sports, talent show, food, small group Bible studies and amazing worship. Kids and youth have the opportunity to let loose and just be kids as well as learn more about God and who He created them to be. We have been holding this camp since 2018 and now that some students who have attended this camp as secondary students have graduated university, many point to this camp as a life-changing camp where they either gave their life to Christ or began to deepen their faith and personal relationship with God.

There are 3 ways that you can be a part of this memorable and life-transforming camp. 

1. Send youth to camp: 
Sponsor a child to attend this life-changing camp!  This year for Christmas we'll be giving students a gift of new socks & shoes for school. For only $130 you can send a student to attend camp & receive a Christmas gift of new shoes. If you are able to bless another child or two with a camp scholarship & shoes you can double or triple up your donation. Not every child we hope to send to camp has a sponsor, so every donation helps!

The deadline for paying for camp is November 17, 2024.

2. Volunteer at camp:
We need your help, your friends', and your kids' help!  We are estimating 550+ children, youth and college students will attend this camp! If you, a family member, or friend would be interested we could use the help. We need help with camp counsellors, worship, AV,  prayer, photography, videography, sports, and more. This will be a great opportunity to serve with your entire family! A few details are below but if want more, please email volunteer@empowerachild.org. If you are ready, then click here to apply
