The Day Camp programs for the children of Grundy County started in 1980. If you have been a service project camper, you know why. Many times, you have

personally worked at or visited a site where there are many children with

nothing to do but be bored or get into trouble. Day Camp was started in

response to the need for these children to have a positive and safe community

in which to be loved and challenged. The ministry suspended the program

a few years ago due to a lack of funding and interest by participants.

In the fall of 2006 we decided that we would do what we could to provide

this opportunity once again .

Ever since, we have had nothing but an overwhelmingly positive response

from the families in the county. And last summer, through DCU and churches from all over the country, many children were touched! The program was a success! With a little tweaking and input from all of our supporters, we are expecting DCU 2008 to impact lives in even greater ways. Thanks to all of the churches who lovingly and faithfully continue to love the children of Grundy County in such significant ways.
