Volunteer opportunity's this week and special thanks!
Hi all… it has been awhile since we have blogged and wanted to make sure that we send the same updates on our pages as we send to our volunteers!
Thank you so much to all of our Camp Dallas Volunteers who helped make last week's camps such a success! We couldn't do any of this without you, and it truly shows. So many of you jump right in and make a huge impact with the kiddos, and day after day we watch them transform right in front of our eyes - overcoming their fears, conquering the kayaks, facing their fear of water, trying fishing, or tackling anything else - and leaving Camp Dallas a changed individual.
A special welcome and thank you to our new volunteers! You jumped in and made an immediate impact, and we're so glad to have you as part of the team.
We also want to give a special shout-out to Kristina Bencher-Atherton, who has been stepping up all summer as our Camp Lead and has done an amazing job! We had a few children at camp who needed some extra attention, and Kristina quickly recognized that and brought in a few extra volunteers to give them one-on-one time. That extra attention made a huge difference, and those campers were able to have a truly great experience because of it. Thank you, Kristina, for your quick thinking and leadership!
We had a busy week of camps: High Beam Church Group on Monday, The Dream Center of Peoria on Thursday with nearly 60 kiddos, The Neighborhood House on Friday, and The Boys to Men Empowerment Group on Saturday. Check out our Facebook page for photos from the week, and each organization's page to see the great work they're doing.
Looking ahead, we have two Camp Dallas camps coming up this week:
Art Inc Camps - July 14, 22, and August 6, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM. Learn more at Art Inc.
Clipped Wing - July 14, 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM. We've hosted this group before, and just like all our partner organizations, we love having them. Learn more at Clipped Wing Global Initiative
Again, thank you all for everything you do. Camp Dallas simply would not be possible without your time and heart. If you have any suggestions on how we can make the camper experience even better, please don't hesitate to reach out. Also, if you are having troubles signing up for certain camps, please email cassi@campdallas.org and I will help you out.

Thank you again!
