Help Wanted

Hello All,

As some of you know the Shield Maiden is going to be working at a youth camp this summer. Camp David is a week long camp for the children of prisoners, most of who come from the inner-city area of St Louis. At the SHEM curriculum fair the couple that runs the camp came by the High Ground table to ask if we would help them spread the word that they are in serious need of help this summer. There are six camps through June and July and they need staff for all of them. At the fair they had to get 25 more people to help, I don't know if this is the total for the summer, or per camp. They alternate between girl’s week and boy’s week, but they never have guys and girls there together. You have to be at least sixteen to be a counselor; however, there are jobs available for younger teens as well. Each counselor is in charge of two campers, and shares a cabin with one other counselor and their campers. I think that the cost to go is $8.00, or something like that. There are so many amazing stories that come out of Camp David. One was about a little boy that had been caught in cross fire once, and still had bullet scars on his legs to prove it. These kids are in desperate need of love and a relationship with the Lord. If you have any questions, or are interested in volunteering, go to their web site at www.campdavidozarks.org
