What’s your super power? You can send Kids2Camp!
Corner65 is a youth program of Re:Source Cleveland, which empowers resettled families to grow roots, supporting them in becoming engaged, self-sufficient and contributing members of their new communities.
This summer, 14 newcomer youth in Cleveland will have the incredible opportunity to attend East Ohio UMC Camps. A week of outdoor adventure, personal growth, and faith building can lead to memories that last a lifetime. These students have come to Cleveland from around the world—and many have never experienced summer camp. With your help, they can have the opportunity to explore nature, build friendships, and gain confidence in a fun and supportive environment.
Last year, we sent 12 girls to camp. They came back energized, full of stories, and calling it the best week of their lives. This year, Re:Source Cleveland is expanding the opportunity. We can help more students in their youth program, Corner65, experience the joy of camp. What will they do all week? Learn new skills, play sports, swim, hike, and simply get to be kids.
A week at camp costs $600 per camper which covers lodging, meals, activities, and transportation. By sponsoring a camper, you’re not just funding a week of fun—you’re giving a newcomer student the chance to feel welcome, build confidence, and create lifelong memories.

Help equip the girls with camp gear!
In April, our monthly donation drive is dedicated to helping our campers fill their camp packing list. Their families are of limited means, and many of their resources must be shared with their siblings or saved for school. Can you help? Bring your donations to the bin by April 27, or shop our wishlist at Amazon.com and ship to the church!
The Sew4Good group is making 14 personalized pillow cases for the girls. We are looking for donations of standard sized pillows!
Can we fill 14 duffel bags with camp essentials like towels, socks, flashlights, toiletries and water bottles?
Have a birthday coming up? Consider sharing this shopping list with your friends, in lieu of presents! We’ll even make a nice personalized card or qr code if you request one.
