Good Spirit Foundation Spring and Summer Camps

Our Summer Camp is a 4 week day camp held northeast of Hernando in the month of June. The first week is intense leadership training for our older young people who have been invited to serve as counselor trainees (CTs). There is leadership training, bible study, and work preparing the camp. Then, the guests arrive for a 3 week session.
We sing and dance and make DVDs, learn about computers, and polish rocks to make homemade necklaces. Our games are outrageous, and we laugh and act silly. Bible study is real and powerful; you can find God here.

Our activities include dozens of fun and simple things to do and learn including: archery, old time computer games, chess, flight simulation, crafts, music, singing, lots of games, reading, drawing, and many more. Each activity is held in a small group or a one-on-one with a CT or adult volunteer. Bible study happens after lunch and consists of basic, mainstream gospel teaching taught in small groups. Another favorite activity of camp is lunches. Each lunch is prepared fresh by our volunteers and is a recipe that has proven itself over the years. Our menu includes: French bread pizza, salad bar, baked potato bar, camp cheese and mac, taco salad, etc.

The cost of camp is based on a donation of a specified amount of money. Financial assistance is offered to everyone who needs it. Funds are made available by donors to see that kids are able to attend camp, and so far no child has been turned away because of money.

Spring Camp is during spring break for Citrus County schools and is similar in its simplicity to the summer camp described above. We have a typically younger group for spring, starting around age 6. The daily schedule is a little more relaxed, and the session is only 5 days long.
