Unleashing Summer Magic: LUM Camp 2024
Adventure, Friendship & Learning for 83 Local Kids
LUM Camp is the highlight of the summer for 83 local children, ages 8 to 10, and this year was particularly special. LUM Campers reveled in a variety of activities, including campfires, archery, canoeing, s’mores, swimming, wall climbing, ziplining, arts and crafts, a giant swing, and creek exploring—many experiencing these thrills for the very first time. This year’s theme LUM Animal Camp – Service and Support, unleashed summer magic with exciting events like a movie night showing Madagascar, meet-and-greets with service dogs, lessons on approaching working service animals, and an unforgettable encounter with exotic creatures from Silly Safaris. One memorable evening, LUM friends joined LUM Camp to sing songs, share dinner, enjoy an ice cream social, and interact informally with the campers (pictured below). LUM Camp Friend Night, where board members and donors participated in the festivities, showcased the community spirit and commitment to the children’s growth and happiness.

The impact on the children at LUM Camp was profound. Many campers discovered new passions and overcame personal challenges, all while making lasting friendships. The variety of activities fostered a sense of adventure and confidence, and the theme-related events taught valuable lessons about service and support. LUM is deeply grateful for the generosity that has made such a positive impact on these young lives. The support has ignited hope and joy, showing the children that they are valued and deserving of every opportunity. THANK YOU for believing in their dreams and helping to shape a brighter future for all.
