Every summer we fuel up the bus, load it up with 32 children and head to a magical place called Camp Horizon. My journey of service started back in 1982 when members of my church identified a need to provide services for children of abuse and neglect. Our first step in the fight to break the cycle of violence was to host a campout in the backyard with eight kids and borrowed tents and sleeping bags. Back then our mission was to provide a brief refuge from the storm of abuse, a carefree adventure with a camp fire, songs, and roasted marshmallows. We\'ve grown into a non-profit 501(c)3 organization with comprehensive programs. Carefully designed activities help the campers realize they are children of promise with endless possibilities.
