Donate to Brightwood Camp  Online

Bailley says being able to be at camp is a blessing. "I think the donors are really wonderful – it’s really nice of them to help us go to camp." That sentiment is echoed by 11-year old Krystal Neuman. "I’m very grateful to the donors – I really want to thank them because I am having a great time. I always have fun here…this is a great camp." And Krystal would know – this is the sixth time she has attended a Hope Mission summer camp. She says she likes riding the horses best and learning new things. "I’m learning about God. I am also learning how to respect and obey God as well as other people."

"There are also stories that break your heart- kids who suffer abuse, neglect, in foster homes/group homes, a mom who is dying in hospital, a boy who used to visit his mom every two weeks and then one time he goes for a visit and she had moved – that was two years ago and he has not seen nor heard from her since, a boy who hasn’t seen his mom in 11 years, brothers and sisters who live in different homes, lots of hurt."
