What People Say About Camp Agape
I had reservations about becoming a volunteer? This was out of my comfort zone. I really didn’t think I was equipped for the challenge. But my experience was nothing like I expected. The training was excellent and there were other veteran men there that supported me. I felt prepared by the time I met my camper and my confidence on the last day had increased tremendously.
The experience helped my own grief journey. Six years later and I’m still volunteering!
I was a camper at Camp Agape. The camp helped me cope with my grief as a kid and I felt it in my heart to give back and be a volunteer buddy.
I knew my story of a hard loss could help another child just like the volunteer Buddy that helped me as a kid. But the camp doesn’t just help the kids. God continues to use
the volunteer experience to heal my hurts each time I chose to experience camp with a new child I’ll be signing up to volunteer again and again.
I had two big challenges to
overcome before volunteering: 1. making the time in my busy
schedule and 2. overcoming my
fear of not knowing if I was
equipped to help a child. But I’m glad I said “yes.”
Camp Agape trained and supported me through the whole process. I will have to say the experience made me feel like my grief had a purpose. It was absolutely worth finding the time in my schedule to stop and help a child. And it helped me too.
