About Camp Break Away
The Burke Center for youth is a residential treatment center for boys from 10 to 17 years old who are in foster care. Our church has served at the Burke Center for several years through a mentor program, where each boy has an adult male mentor who shows up consistently to demonstrate God's love for them. Camp breakaway started in 2008 as part of the mentor program to provide a Christian based weekend camp, off-site for the boys, Burke staff, and mentors.
The mission of Camp Breakaway is to share the message of God's love, grace, and forgiveness, to show the unconditional love and saving power of Jesus Christ, and to teach that all lives are worthwhile and have purpose because of God's endless love. During the weekend, we'll have inspirational talks and worship. The creative activities have some good old traditional camp fun like fishing, swimming, nine square campfires and s'mores, singing skits and wonderful food.

One of the most impactful moments of this camp is when we bring out a prayer chain that wraps around the room. The boys are amazed to see how many people have been praying for them during this special weekend.
Today, we invite you to help touch the lives of these boys by filling out prayer slip, reserving a time to pray for camp break away (the staff, the volunteers, mentors, and especially for these boys). We thank you for your support and your prayers for this year's camp break away. May this be the best campout yet!
Here is how you can help:
- Join the Mentor Program (must be an adult male to participate)
- Fill out a prayer slip and pray!
