Summer Camp Theme and Photos: “Fearless”

Breakaway’s summer camp for children of prisoners, at-risk youth, and disadvantage kids. Our theme this year was “Fearless.” Kids learned five daily principles:

1. Because of God’s presence, I can face anything. (Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
2. Because of God’s purpose, I can risk boldly. (Esther)
3. Because of God’s power, I live with a different perspective. (Lazarus)
4. Because of God’s peace, I can overcome evil. (Stephen)
5. Because of God’s perseverance, I can finish strong. (Paul)

“Before the first year at camp, it was the lowest part of my life. I had lost my mother and sister in a tragic car wreck. I was being bullied at school and was planning to commit suicide when I received an invitation with a scholarship to attend Breakaway camp. I decided to put off the suicide plan and attend camp. It was the best decision I ever made. I gave my life to Jesus at camp and then Breakaway helped me get involved with a local church. My life still has ups and downs but I know now that God has me no matter what.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My biological father was always incarcerated and I was sent into foster care. I started camp as a tiny little camper and now I get to serve as camp nurse! I graduated from Lee University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and I am currently working as a Nursery and Postpartum Nurse. Breakaway Outreach is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an outreach of family and community that all come together because we truly care about God’s children.”
