Achievements
Twenty five years ago, we were given a grant to hire interns to support the roles of the program coordinators. They mentored & tutored the younger counselors and took on leadership alongside the program coordinators. This February, a group of the college peer mentors wanted to volunteer to give back to the program that had given so much to them.
We were given funding for an extra week of camp and our peer mentors coordinated for middle and high school students to do community outreach. Since there were 20 new peer mentors, this was a good way for the 14 returning peer mentors to continue to train them to work at the next three weeks of camp with younger campers. They had a party for the seniors at Loaves & Fishes, visited parks together to play, gave away more books thane ever before (1,500 this summer), made craft packets for younger campers, and took various field trips.
Three-hundred and sixty children attended four weeks of camp. Throughout the session, we sang songs together, had educational visits from the fire and police departments, made pizza at Dominos, ate ice cream at Burgerville, read and kept books from Powell's, crafted, and went on various field trips. In fact, the last week of camp we took 109 campers to the Oregon Zoo!
We could not have done all of this without the support of the peer mentor counselors and your contribution. Thanks for another wonderful year!
