We need sponsors every summer. Between 400 and 500 at-risk children from Spokane's low-income neighborhoods—invited by their local churches—come each year for a week of connection and relaxation. Consider planning ahead for next summer's kids, or contribute now to help cover costs of the last few weeks. Without our generous community, none of these precious children would have been reached. Praise God! And thank you!
