Dick Johnston’s Children’s Camp - July 19-24

A Camp for Kids Who’ve Walked a Hard Road—And a Chance to Help

Each summer, Dick Johnston Children’s Camp (DJCC) at Camp Mitchell offers something rare and powerful: a free week of camp for children ages 8–12 who have experienced the incarceration of a parent. These kids may live with grandparents, foster parents, or guardians—and DJCC gives them a place to just be kids, surrounded by others who understand. It’s a week filled with joy, nature, and connection.

This year’s camp runs July 19-24, and there are still a few open spots for campers. In addition to spreading the word, you can help by donating items from the camp wish list, or funds to support scholarships through the Camp Mitchell Scholarship Fund. You can also write letters of encouragement to campers—drop those off at St. Paul’s by July 17. To refer a camper or get involved, contact Kristi Palmer at kristipalmer2016 (at) gmail (dot) com or reach out to the church office.
