Serving the Families of Prisoners since 2003

Camp Kerith is a summer camp for the children of prisoners, children affected by a loved one's substance addiction, or children experiencing high levels of trauma. Camp Kerith offers a program designed around their specialized needs.
This powerful, positive impact of a one-week camping experience cannot be discounted. It is a life-changing experience. |

Summer camps for kids ages 5 to 18 are uniquely designed for at-risk children and youth. Children have the opportunity to be kids as they participate in swimming, archery, games, and arts and crafts, but summer camps offer much more. Campers are immersed in a unique story, told through theming and storytelling, allowing them to enter a world where they interact with characters and participate in the storyline.
Campers learn they are not the only ones with a parent in prison, and they interact with staff who had similar experiences growing up. In addition to fun activities, some classes equip children with tools to make healthy choices, process grief, and recognize their values and dreams. Campers learn life skills, including conflict resolution and anger management, and have opportunities to enhance their social and emotional development through group activities and connection with God.
Camp Kerith creates an environment where campers are supported and celebrated. Campers have a safe place to share their challenges and learn valuable life skills while building friendships that last a lifetime.
