Spring Break

Wow, can you believe that it’s already spring break? Next thing you know it will be June and all the kids will be out of school for summer..well maybe I shouldn’t say all because some of them could be going to summer school. Even though the summer will be here soon, Power House sidewalk will be still going strong along with our tutoring program. We believe that tutoring throughout the summer will insure that students will be successful in the fall as they return to school.

We have so many awesome things to look forward to as summer approaches. Spending time in the sun and playing outside along with these things comes boredom as the kids get used to not having a school schedule.

We will have some opportunities to build relationships with the kids at our sidewalk sites by having some of them go to our kids camp in August. What an awesome chance to sow into a life of a child in this life changing experience. We have a few kids already picked from some sites who will be participating in this camp experience this year. Over the next week we will receive the rest of the applicants for our Power House campers.

Camp will be located at Springhill Camp in Evart, MI. There will be so many wonderful outdoor activities for the kids to do. There will be friends made and memories that will be good to talk about.

I look back at the experience of last year with the Power House kids and truly believe it was a very precious time for each one of them. Camp was an experience that they will always remember and I believe effected them forever. Some of the same kids will return again this year and we will have some new comers who will be able to form a wonderful memory of their own. One that they will look back on a say that was when I did this for the first time and that’s when I conquered this and I grew closer to God.

Summer 2010, I know will be something special, I look forward to seeing what God will do!
