Base Camp
Base Camp is one of two branches of a program called Sabaoth Ministries. This ministry reaches out to kids, teaching them that God has a plan for their lives and giving them a sense of hope and confidence. Base Camp works with children from the inner city area of Grand Rapids, ages 7 to 17. Here kids can find tutoring help, expand their literacy skills, enjoy a time of recreation, eat snacks, learn from godly role models, and discover God’s plan for their lives. The goal of Base Camp and the volunteers who serve there is to provide the kids with knowledge, self-worth, and the love of God that will grow them and guide them in their life choices. Base Camp not only touches the lives the kids who attend, but the volunteers who serve there.
