We had never heard of Upward basketball and cheer camps until Centerpointe Church, a church plant here in DuPont, offered the camp (completely FREE of charge) at the DuPont Middle School this summer. It was completely amazing! The kids were all able to attend and had a fabulous time. They learned about basketball and cheerleading, but also had Bible studies and the gospel message was shared every day to many, many unchurched kids.
Mark and I were so amazed that not only was the camp free for the kids, but they also received a ton of free stuff. Abby received her cheer top, pom poms, a megaphone, a backpack, a basketball, a water bottle, and a duffle bag. The boys each received reversible basketball jerseys, water bottles, basketballs, and duffle bags. The camp also offered a free bbq meal on the last day of the camp for the kids and their families, and is also making a highlight DVD that they are hand-delivering to each home that had a child attend the camp.
What an amazing way to show Christ's love to our community! Going above and beyond what is expected, and asking nothing in return.
