This will be my second time going to JASY Camp. I went in 2013 and it was one of the greatest weeks of my life. It was challenging, but so rewarding. I decided then and promised many kids that I would be coming back this summer and I am so excited and thankful that I am able to. 

This summer our group will run a week-long sports camp for 150 destitiute but deserving children who live in shanties located in Riverton and other poor communities in Kingston Jamaica. JASY utilizes sports training as a vehicle to improve self-esteem, physical well being, teamwork, Christian values and cross cultural learning.

Over 1,100 children have attended JASY Camp programs to date. We have clearly seen the life changing impact JASY Camp has on the campers and volunteers.

Every child has a dream and a desire to be all that he or she can be.  Sponsoring JASY Camp helps make dreams come true.

 

“The children who have attended the JASY camps truly appreciate the experience as the activities have had an uplifting effect on their lives physically, emotionally and spiritually. Some of the youth have begun to see life from a different perspective, not just poverty; and besides putting a smile on their faces it has given them a chance to use their God-given talents.  One of the major problems in Jamaica is that there is a lack of hope that anything will get better and JASY offers these young people a spirit of hope and love.  The friendships that have been formed, the bonds that have been cemented will be life-long for the people in Riverton.  God Bless JASY!”
