Review for Living Word Bible Camp, Grand Rapids, MN, USA
This is a Christian, Bible-based camp staffed entirely by volunteers. Because of this, and because of donations, LWBC is able to offer 5 full days of camp to children in grades 3-8 at a greatly reduced cost. It has a serious emphasis, with children spending at least 4 hours a day in various types of Biblical instruction, and another hour of singing. There is also plenty of fun, with swimming, canoeing, games, and crafts. The children are well cared for and really enjoy their time at camp. Many express their joy of learning so much in such a short time.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the spiritual and personal growth of those attending, both campers and volunteer workers.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
working with the other volunteers and seeing the joy it gives to the children attending.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
enthusiastic, loving, and kind. They love children, and care about their experience at camp.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
build its own facility, hire a couple of full time staff, and offer this experience to more families. They have been renting facilities since they began, over 35 years ago. They do have lake property (paid for) to build on and are in process.
Ways to make it better...
I'd had a little more time around the children. The kitchen is generally the hardest place to work.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Their limited access to facilities and their heavy reliance on volunteers.
One thing I'd also say is that...
This camp provides a great training ground for teens in learning to minister to others.
