5 Dear Parents of Campers: At Awana Clubs International, we care about kids! Our hope and prayer is that all children and youth throughout the world will come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ. Volunteers for Awana camps are chosen carefully. They are screened by the Awana missionary and Awana Clubs International headquarters office. Our goal is that all volunteers will have a positive spiritual impact on youth attending camp. Should you have any concerns regarding anything that occurred at camp, you may contact the Awana Missionary for your area or the Awana Headquarters office and speak to anyone in the Child Protection department. The contact information is at the end of this letter. We encourage you to talk to your son or daughter and encourage them to talk to you about their camp experience. Also, let your son or daughter know they can feel free to talk with a camp counselor or the camp director should there be something he or she is not comfortable with at camp. We desire camp to be a positive experience for all youth; a time of spiritual growth and a time they look back on with fond memories. We covet your prayers as Awana works to bring spiritual enrichment to the young people that are entrusted to us at camp. Blessings to you!
