Spots still open at Camp Gifford

LOON LAKE — In partnership with the Salvation Army, Family Crisis Network is sending children in need from Pend Oreille County to summer camp at Camp Gifford.

While all teen spots are already full, FCN is still looking to send 12 boys and girls aged 7–12. Registration costs $25 per child, with transportation provided. The program is based on income, but FCN encourages all families to apply, as it varies depending on wages and family sizes. Each summer at Camp Gifford, hundreds of Inland Northwest youth spend nights in A-frame cabins, feast on homestyle cooking and sing songs and trade stories around a campfire. The camp’s mission is to “use nature and Camp Gifford’s unique outdoor environment to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ while encouraging kind behavior, teaching environmental awareness and providing each camper an opportunity for fun and adventure,” according to a camp flyer.
