SUMMER CAMP
Summer Camp 2019
After volunteering at a summer camp with Evergreen Bible Camp, Lorventzky decided to bring the idea back to Haiti. This became the first Summer Bible Camp many of these children had ever experienced.
We initially planned to host 50 campers since this was our first camp experience, but we were overwhelmed by the number of children who wanted to participate. During the five-day camp, we simply did not have enough space for everyone.
What began as an idea quickly became a life-changing reality for many children in Haiti. Today, the camp has grown into a cherished tradition that children, staff, and the surrounding community eagerly look forward to every summer. We continue to travel there regularly to help run the camp and support our local staff in any way we can.
Summer Camp 2021
This was our second summer camp, and it ran much better than the first. Phyllis and Abby contributed greatly to the success of this year’s camp, bringing valuable experience in planning and leading camp activities. We were blessed to welcome over 100 campers.
Summer Camp 2022
The summer camp lasts approximately five days and serves around 125 children. During camp, the children play games, are divided into classes for Bible lessons, sing together, share meals, and work on Bible memorization.
Summer Camp 2023
We had around 150 children participate in camp. During camp, the children played games, had a Bible lesson, sing, had a meal, and worked on Bible memorization. They were learning from the book of John.
Summer Camp 2025
This year, 163 children participated in the camp. The children played games, sang, shared meals, listened to Bible stories, and practiced Bible memorization. Throughout the week, they learned about the prophet Isaiah.
Summer Camp 2026
Throughout the week, the children spent a great deal of time memorizingScripture. The book of 1 John was our Bible book for the year, and the children worked hard to learn and memorize verses from it. They also learned new songs, listened to Bible stories, and enjoyed a variety of crafts with Phyllis.
Each day, the children participated in crafts and activities connected to the Bible lessons. One of the special craft days focused on planting seeds. Through this activity, the children learned about faith and how even faith as small as a mustard seed can be used by God. The children planted their own vegetable seeds to take home. They wereencouraged to water and care for their plants as they grow, giving them a tangiblereminder that faith, like a seed, grows when it is nurtured and cared for.
We were amazed by the growth in attendance throughout the week. We had 125 children on the first day of camp and more than 170 children on thefinal day!
Matthew 28:19–20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (ESV)
