Summer 2011

New Life's Safe Haven Camp began on the 20th of June, and we have seen two busy weeks FILLED with kids. For the first time, we have had a middle school program with separate gender classrooms. At the beginning of the center we had only 9 registered! Now, there are 29 middle schoolers who regularly attend New Life.

16 attend have a boxing and basketball program that focuses on leadership and mentorship.
13 girls attend a program that is exploring the Route 66; running BLING; and developing a "team" mentality.

Exciting Stories to Come!
