Sending kids to camps offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond a simple summer getaway. These immersive experiences provide a unique blend of fun, education, and personal growth. Camps foster independence, allowing children to develop crucial life skills such as decision-making, problem-solving, and teamwork. By engaging in a wide range of activities, from outdoor adventures to creative arts and sports, kids expand their horizons, discover new passions, and build lasting friendships. Camps also promote resilience, nurturing a sense of self-confidence and adaptability in a supportive and inclusive environment. Ultimately, the transformative power of camp experiences empowers children to thrive and embrace new opportunities well beyond their time spent in the great outdoors.

Amidst the growing recognition of the profound impact of camps, Camp Henry emerges as a beacon of hope, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the transformative magic of camp. Through their dedicated charity work, Camp Henry tirelessly raises funds and provides scholarships, enabling children from all walks of life to embark on unforgettable camp adventures, fostering personal growth, and creating lifelong memories in the process.

Gear up for an exciting opportunity to support Camp Henry’s mission at their upcoming fundraising event, Run for Camp 5k. Lace up your running shoes and join fellow enthusiasts in this thrilling race that not only promotes fitness but also raises vital funds to ensure that more children can experience the joy and growth of camp.

Benefiting the scholarship funds at Camp Henry
Camp Henry is raising money to send kiddos to camp. Camp has a long history and major commitment to making a summer camp experience accessible to all children and families – regardless of their ability to pay. Over the past ten years we have provided over $1 million in scholarship assistance to make summer camp a reality for families in financial need. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from an amazing, positive, loving, fun-filled, and life changing Christian camping experience.

Dogs Welcome: Dogs must be on a leash the entire time of the event. Runners/Walkers with dogs will also start the race after participants without dogs. Please be prepared to clean up after your dog as well.

Camp Swag: Each walker/runner registered by August 30 will get a Camp Henry Run for Camp 5K shirt.

Fundraiser Camp Swag: Each participant is encouraged to become a Fundraiser for Camp. Our hope is that each participant can raise at least $100. Some may be able to raise $1,000 or more. The more money we can raise, the more kids we can get into camp. Don’t want to participate in the 5k?
