For many children in urban areas, financial barriers prevent them from experiencing the joys of nature, community, and spiritual growth, leaving them disconnected from opportunities to explore God’s creation and build faith. Camp Evergreen in Clarksville, Georgia, is dedicated to connecting campers with God, nature, and others while equipping them for Christian service through activities like hiking, swimming, ziplining, canoeing, creek play, crafts, and daily chapels with fun skits about Jesus. A $4,000 grant from Ten Thousand Reasons, applied for by third-grader Graham Gorden, enabled Camp Evergreen to provide full scholarships for 10 campers, ensuring access to a transformative week of outdoor adventure and spiritual enrichment regardless of financial circumstances. This grant empowered Camp Evergreen to provide:

Full scholarships for 10 campers, covering all costs for a week of camp activities, including lodging, meals, and programming.

Opportunities to engage in nature-based activities like hiking to waterfalls, ziplining, and canoeing, fostering a deeper appreciation for God’s creation.

Spiritual growth through daily chapels and interactions with fun, faith-driven counselors, inspiring campers to embrace Christian values and service.

Thank you, Graham Gorden, for your passionate advocacy and commitment to ensuring every child can experience the life-changing joy of Camp Evergreen!
