Camp Noah is a great program for children affected in any way – directly or indirectly – by the May 2013 storms. It helps children cultivate disaster resilience while continuing to process their experience. This day camp is completely free, has a maximum capacity of 50 children per camp, and runs from Monday through Friday. For more information on any of these camps, including local contacts, please visit http://www.lssmn.org/campnoah/ upcoming-camps Also, feel free to contact Cari Logan for more information or to support these wonderful programs!

Volunteers are needed to work alongside campers June 15th – June 19th in Oklahoma City and Mustang. Equipped Team Leaders will lead trained and background checked volunteers to facilitate the resilience and preparedness curriculum. Individuals and groups are welcome to contact Camp Noah for more information about joining a team for one or more of the weeks.

Funding:
The eight June camps are being funded by a grant from the Red Cross of Central Oklahoma. In response to community interest, two additional camps have been added in Moore in July and Camp Noah is seeking funding for these camps. Camp Noah typically utilizes funding from many organizations (churches, community organizations, regional groups) who contribute to the $20,000 total cost for each camp.
