CAN YOU HELP?
The barn is looking great, Mackenzie is off to a fabulous start, and Amanda and Marywill have been hard at work training volunteers and getting our lessons for the year lined up and ready to go. Now, we need YOU!
Did you know that lesson fees cover only about 20% of our annual budgetary needs? We are a 501(c)3 that is HEAVILY dependent upon individual and corporate donors who look at what we are doing and are willing to invest financially.
This year we will be gifting all of our volunteers with t-shirts to wear when they are working as feeders, side walkers and leaders. On the back of these shirts, we would LOVE to put your name or your businesses name as one of our 2026-2027 Donors.
Please check out the graphic for more details and then go to https://givebutter.com/EQ_shirtsponsor BY SEPTEMBER 30th to join our campaign!
And if your business would be interested in an even higher sponsorship level, please contact me, Allie Brisbois, at [email protected] to set up a meeting to talk about some of the other sponsorship opportunities we have available.

For a while between summer camp, returners Nick and Tre have been picking up work at Honey Baked Ham in Fayetteville. During their time there, they met Sarah and talked with her about summer camp.

Now Sarah is part of our summer camp staff! Sarah is a dynamic personality who has younger siblings and worked with kids in various capacities before. We're excited for her to be joining us for Camp Calvin 2026!

Send your camper to summer camp to meet Sarah, Nick, and Tre, as well as the rest of the staff! We're anticipating a great time! Sign up at https://bit.ly/3Nbhg74!

We know that there are still others who are wanting to know how to help but aren't sure how. You can click on the link above or here (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VR2DEMZ0TDER?ref_=wl_share) to donate items that we've got listed. Every single item helps tremendously.

We also can say that we have a full slate of summer chaplains! Madison Shelton, Mary Moore Driggers, Joshua Woodsmith, Destiny Williams, Courtney Anne Henry, and Andrew Kjorlang are going to be with us this summer and we are so excited to have them. They will be sharing all of their knowledge about what makes every camper "val-YOU-ble!" You can sign your camper up at https://bit.ly/3Nbhg74.

As of today, we are exactly two weeks out from staff training. By this time on May 18th, we will have our staff joining us and beginning our 24 hours as a camper.

We are excited to announce Nate as our next summer staff hire! Nate is another staffer referred to Calvin by Amaris. Nate lives locally and is excited about the opportunity after hearing about so much of last summer. We're also excited, Nate, about this summer. It's looking like it's going to be amazing.

Parents, we are no longer a full month away from camp. We have spots and we'd love to host your camper. Go to https://bit.ly/3Nbhg74 to sign up for camps.

Liking, sharing, and commenting on our post helps get the word out further. Thank you for being a fan of this wonderful place!

We were introduced to Merci through returning counselor, Amaris! Merci is joining our staff for the summer and is excited about getting to hang with her good friend all summer. We share the same excitement that we get to have both of them join us.

There are still spots to sign up for summer camp to meet Merci. You can go to this link: https://bit.ly/3Nbhg74.

Liking, sharing, and commenting can share our message even wider! Help us out by doing one or all three!

We're expanding our Reach Out camp options this summer to include Horse Reach Out and Adventure Reach Out! One request that has come through clearly is to have a camp that features more of the crafts, games, and singing/dancing that our Equine Camp doesn't feature as much of.

Our fifth week of camp, June 29-July 3, now has a second option for Reach Out campers. Each RO camp is still a day camp, so drop off around 8:30am and pick up at 5:00pm.

We'd love to welcome any Reach Out campers who want to be a part of Camp Calvin! Sign up at https://bit.ly/3Nbhg74. Contact Tyler at [email protected] or 770-946-4276 with any questions that you may have. *We can create an invoice if you use third party pay.*

Liking, sharing, and commenting spreads the reach of our message! You can help us out by doing any or all of those three!

Our first Calvin Work Day was attended by board members, their family, and staff. We did a great deal of big, observable work such as cleaning out and organizing closet spaces, cleaning and scrubbing windows, and pressure washing sidewalks. We also took on many smaller projects that most wouldn't notice, like scrubbing doors, preparing floors for cleaning, and wiping down walls.

We are still planning on another work day to prepare for the Presbytery Meeting and Camp Calvin on May 2nd from 8:30a - 1:00p. Our next plan will be to work on some outdoor projects, and we could use as many hands present as possible. Have you got time to come help us out? Sign up at the following link to let us know to prepare for you: https://forms.gle/MqqTny6xnbSuHTZt8.

Liking, sharing, and commenting our post spreads the word further than we are able to. We look forward to seeing you there!
