The Milwaukee Federation's Camp Grace offers
a summer of Christian camp experience to
disadvantaged urban children at the Pine Ridge Campground, Waldo,
WI. Pine Ridge is operated by the Lutheran Boy and Girl Pioneer
trains of Greater Milwaukee.
Two weeks of camp are available for children ages 9-12, free of charge through
their local congregations. Bible study, canoeing, archery,
swimming, hiking and a variety of other camp experiences fill five
days and four nights with unforgettable memories for campers and
volunteer staff alike.
The streams of tears on Friday evenings
testify to that.
While both camps are fully staffed, we could
use a 15' aluminum canoe and paddles. We need campers or tents
for some staff because all bunks are filled by children. We
need your prayers. and, of course, always welcome donations which
allow God to touch over 260 lives during these two weeks.
Donations are matched by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans chapters
in Greater Milwaukee. Contact Rev. John C. Ibisch, (414)
453-8976, FAX (414) 476-3891 or email: ihinetwork@myexcel.com
for donation information.
