Have you considered sponsoring a camper? Every donation will help get our 3 youths closer to an experience of a lifetime! If you would like to sponsor a camper or donate to the camp fund, please speak to Danielle Bates with any questions. From Camp Capers website: Katherine, a woman who was an original camper from the first year at Camp Capers in 1947, told me that Camp Capers was incredibly important to her faith development - as a child, a youth, and even to this day. We all know that experiences both good and bad from our childhood stay with us for a lifetime. Let us be a positive force in helping these boys add an awesome experience to their lives and memories.
