Camp Hope 2010!
Camp Hope 2010
With over 400 campers, counselors and volunteers, Camp Hope held it's 11th summer in July!  Not even a few rain showers could put a damper on the joy and excitement of 60 Cornerstone campers, 63 Leadership campers, 24 camper-turned-counselors and hundreds of counselors.  During the week, the lives of both campers and counselors were transformed by the love of Christ.  One camper's evaluation said, "On a scale from 1 to 10, Camp Hope is an infinity."  Thank you for the many hands and feet who make Camp Hope a place where campers can experience God's forgiving love and the freedom to be a child.  Your prayers, time, service and support are priceless. 

Be on the lookout for Camp Hope 2011 dates!

Mark your calendars for hope4christmas Saturday, December 11 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church

Interns at Lion King Show in NYC
i4t in NYC
After 176 summer days, 10 interns successfully completed 13 summer internships!!  Many thanks to the business sponsors for taking students under their wing and providing them with meaningful business experience.  Thanks to the volunteers who helped interns travel to and from their internships, and to the business coaches who guided the interns during the preparation for their summer jobs.   

In addition to their internships, the interns had a busy summer!  On June 24, the group departed to New York City for a fun and educational trip.  For some of the interns, it was their first visit to the big city and for others, it was their first trip on an airplane.  The trip began with the kids laughing like they were on a roller coaster when the plane left Atlanta and ending with a God-filled moment of Jamil, Marcus, and Brian King, a chaperone, taking the offering during a St. Patrick's Cathedral mass on Sunday.  Check out the k2l Blog for more pictures and stories of their trip!  In July, the interns served as counselors or cabin leaders at Camp Hope 2010. 

Eighteen intern prospects and their parents will be an invited to an i4t informational meeting later in September.
We thank you for your time, prayers and commitment to the children of kidz2leaders! 

Sincerely,
