What a camp! Giving kids one of the best weekends of their lives is a difficult task, especially kids that come from homes where things are tough. Camp Agape wants to give Angels (kids) something they have never seen or experienced before, and that is Christ's Agape Love.
What begins as pulling into YMCA Camp Nau on the North Shore of Kauai, ends in tears of Joy and elation (and also lots of yawns from a fun packed 4 day weekend). The angel activities include: surf camp, horseback riding, ropes/team building course, Nerf dart wars, archery, hip hop class and lots of amazing food!
Part of my role was helping with Logistics, transportation and food. I enjoy helping out and fitting in where there are needs. Had to unclog a few toilets and learned how to cook some local style Hawaiian cuisines.
This is my third camp over the last 12 months, and I am looking forward to Big Island Camp Agape in 2018 along with Oahu as well as Kaua'i.
The Organization
Great Strides
Camp Agape first started in 2005 on Oahu when Pastor Roy was given a vision to start a camp and share God’s love with children whose parents are in prison. “Agape” Love is always the theme at the camp, as volunteers and junior mentors strive to demonstrate the love of Christ to the camp attendees and break the cycle of incarceration. Camp Agape Kauai is an annual, four-day event filled with an intentional series of activities and events that facilitate sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through love, trust, forgiveness and hope.
