After lockdown, the great outdoors!

After school ended in early June, our children, youth, and house parents spent two weeks in a rural camp outside of Monte Plata. Because we had the camp to ourselves, we were well protected, and also could enjoy the open spaces and recreational activities. This was a welcome break after being quarantined for twelve weeks on the relatively small campus of Casa Monte Plata. Our youth and workers remain grateful for both God’s protection and provision during this unique time.

At the end of June, the group returned to Casa Monte Plata and began a six-week summer program along with work projects and summer jobs. Several of the older youth have reached maturity and education levels that they can now help run the summer programs.
