    Sponsor At-Risk Children for Summer Camp

    Every child should have the opportunity to go to camp… it’s an unforgettable adventure that has indelible impact for years to come…

    For over 16 years Breakaway Outreach has been providing life-changing adventure camp experiences for at-risk and underserved children. We offer summer camp scholarships for kids affected by economic insecurity, family hardship, trauma, parental incarceration, domestic violence, and other ACEs (adverse childhood experiences). Our camps have been a place of refuge for the orphaned, the distressed, and the fatherless. Virtually all of the campers we serve would not be able to experience a summer camp without our community partners providing them full or partial scholarships.

    Your gift can make a difference today and build HOPE for tomorrow…

    Find out more about how your sponsorship can begin a process of healing and be the gift that keeps on giving. READ MORE

    This summer our campers will be learning about the story of Jonah and the God of second chances, how God is relentless in His pursuit of us and how He loves us too much to give up on us. We will also see through this story how we are to show mercy to others, including those who have wronged us in the past (our own “Ninevites”).

    DONATIONS: We need partners who are willing to help with full or partial scholarships to give kids camping experiences that shape eternity in their hearts and build resilience in their lives. A gift of $300 will provide a full scholarship for a child to attend summer camp. A gift of $60 will sponsor a child for a day (2 days $120). A gift of $2,400 will fill a cabin (8 campers). Any GIFT amount (full or partial scholarship) makes a HUGE difference! You can make a secure online donation by clicking the “DONATE” button or mail your check to the address below.

    KidVenturez: Dominican Republic

    Breakaway’s KidVenturez program is expanding to the Dominican Republic in 2022. This May, we will be partnering with our friends in Barahona to offer a weekend adventure camp experience on the beach for hundreds of children living in bateyes. Bateyes are villages comprised of mainly Haitian sugar cane workers who live in extreme poverty. Many in the DR are committed to raising the living standards of batey residents through development efforts and community initiatives. We are thrilled to be giving children in these villages—many who have never even had the privilege of leaving the batey—an unforgettable weekend retreat that will include swimming, recreation, worship, Bible discussions, and much more! It only costs $25 per child to make this beach camp possible.

    DONATE to give a child the gift of a KidVenturez weekend at the beach!

    Get Your Esther Tee, Empower Vulnerable Children This Summer

    The biblical story of Esther is a fascinating story of faith, courage, and redemption. A minority Jewish orphan girl becomes the unlikely queen of Persia and must risk everything to save her suffering people from annihilation.

    The key passage is found in Esther 4:14, when Mordecai says to Esther, “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther realizes she has been made for this moment and her bravery shines as she goes on to save many people from destruction and harm.

    YOU were made for such a time as this! God shaped you to be able to overcome insurmountable odds in your generation.

    This will be the theme of our camps as we serve at-risk and underprivileged children this summer. Kids will come to discover social resilience and difference-making courage through this inspiring story. By purchasing one of these “MADE For Such a Time as This” shirts you are helping to empower children with life-changing faith his summer, as the proceeds go toward our camp scholarship fund. Thank you for your support!

    Effective after school programs bring a wide range of benefits to youth, families and communities. After school programs can boost academic performance, reduce risky behaviors, promote physical health, and provide a safe, structured environment for the children of working parents.

    • Attending after school programs can improve students’ academic performance. A national evaluation found that over 40 percent of students attending 21st Century Community Learning Center programs improved their reading and math grades, and that those who attended more regularly were more likely to make gains (Naftzger et. al., 2007).
    • Effective after school programs can improve classroom behavior, school attendance, academic aspirations, and can reduce the likelihood that a student will drop out (Huang, Leon, La Torre, Mostafavi, 2008).
    • Participation in after school programs has been associated with reduced drug use (Investing in Our Young People, University of Chicago, 2006) and criminal behavior (UCLA National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards and Student Testing, 2007).
    • After school programs can play an important role in encouraging physical activity and good dietary habits. Participation in after school programs has been associated with positive health outcomes, including reduced obesity (Mahoney, J., Lord, H., & Carryl, 2005).
    • Working families and businesses also derive benefits from after school programs that ensure that youth have a safe place to go while parents are at work. Parents concerned about their children’s after school care miss an average of eight days of work per year, and this decreased worker productivity costs businesses up to $300 billion annually (Brandeis University, Community, Families and Work Program, 2004 and Catalyst & Brandeis University, 2006).
