Arrow Foster Kids are looking forward to all the fun of summer camp, and Arrow foster parents are looking forward to the break. The four weeks of The Arrow Adventure camp are scheduled for the weeks of June 14, July 21, July 28 and August 11. Each week is gender and age specific. The theme for this year's camp is "Fill Me Up." Our foundational scripture is Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the Holy Spirit."
The Woodlands United Methodist Church, one of our church partners, is conducting all four weeks of camp this year. They will staff the camp, design the activities and oversee every aspect of running camp. This is such a tremendous blessing and relief to Arrow and our staff. We will still have our social work staff on campus to aid the kids and camp counselors should their services be needed, but the "camp stuff" will be facilitated by The Woodlands United Methodist Church.
Our kids will enjoy the typical summer camp activities like paddle boating, canoeing, fishing, swimming, horse riding, high and low ropes, sports, crafts, and camp fire activities. However, The Woodlands United Methodist Church is also planning some unique activities such as martial arts, archery, and a BB gun range.
Each camper will receive a backpack, water bottle and t-shirt with the camp theme and logo imprinted on them, as well as a bandana that has the color of their cabin group. When the kids arrive at camp, they'll be greeted by camp counselors and staff providing a big pep rally type welcome.
Arrow Ambassador Family Specialists will be signing children up for camp during their April home visits.
