Our kids camp provides an affordable, week-long camp experience for youth in Jennings County. We offer children a chance to participate in a wide variety of activities and have mentoring opportunities for the older youth. Camp is open to kids going into grades K through 8th. Anyone that is in 9th grade or above is encouraged to volunteer as a camp counselor. Please go https://bit.ly/JCYFvolunteer21 to sign up to help.
