The pandemic has shown us how desperately children need the hope ofChrist. Whether or not children have grown up in Christ-focused homes,we need to continue to put the hope of Christ before them, because lifeis hopeless without Jesus. That is why Joy El exists. We take bringinghope seriously, and we take your child’s overall well-being and safetyseriously. We are grateful that summer camp 2020 was COVID-19 free! Year after year, surveys strongly affirm that parents know their childrenwill receive quality spiritual instruction and age-appropriate activities ina safe, wholesome environment at Joy El. This is so important, becauseour mission is to provide opportunities for people to experience life-change through personal encounters with God. Every decision we makeis with that goal in mind, including screening and hiring summer staff,food selection, COVID-19 safe practices and activity planning, etc.This summer we will Journey through the Jungle. Joy El will betransferred into a tropical jungle. “Jungle Jamborees” will start each dayas campers find the adventure that awaits them. I am excited forcampers to learn that God is always with them as they take their nextsteps in life. We are going to have a fun, encouraging, and inspiringtime! We look forward to your participation.
