It is a weekend retreat of self-care and fellowship that is held every year during the Spring. It's an opportunity for you and your Inner Child to grow, heal, play, discover, reflect, and work on yourselves. This year we are gathering at Camp Cedar Falls in Angelus Oaks, CA.

Camperships are matching financial assistance (in the amount of $100) for those who cannot otherwise afford to attend camp. We believe everyone who has a sincere desire to recover should have the opportunity to attend camp! Camperships are dependent on the generosity of the fellowship and on a first come, first served basis. Camperships are confidential and are given with the understanding that service will be rendered at camp. If you are granted a campership, we ask that you be of service at camp. The campership coordinator will contact you with service options.

Giving to the Campership Fund - Would you consider contributing $10, $20, $30 or more to the Campership fund? Donations are accepted via Zelle.
