Open Arms is excited to announce that we are just 2½ weeks from our 3rd Annual Orphanage Graduate Summer Camp (“Grad Camp” as we like to call it). The theme this summer is Everlasting Life, based on John 3:16. Our team is in the midst of preparing games, Bible lessons, crafts, and all the other goodness that will fill our four days in the woods.
The summer months can prove to be a difficult time for these kids as they are used to structure and schedules. Suddenly, they are on their own with too much time on their hands. Our hope is to connect them more deeply with our team at the beginning of the summer while bringing them into the Word of God so that these summer months can prove transformational in their lives.
As we prepare, we are asking that you join us in prayer:
- For wisdom in planning
- For the children to come and their hearts be open
- For our team here in Ukraine and those who will be joining us from the states
- For camp to fully funded and God to receive the glory
This year God has blessed us tremendously in being able to provide a spring retreat for our graduates and we look forward to sharing how God continues to move in their lives through this upcoming camp. If you are interested in sponsoring a child for camp, the cost is $80 which includes transportation, food, games, crafts… the whole deal. This camp is absolutely free for the kids, but we need your help in order to make that happen.
UPDATE: THANKS TO YOU, ALL OF OUR KIDS HAVE BEEN SPONSORED TO COME TO CAMP! WE COULDN'T BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FAITHFUL SUPPORT.

If you would like to sponsor a child you can donate online by clicking “donate” below or you can send a check to PO Box 277, San Lorenzo, CA 94580 with “camp sponsorship” in the memo line. We would love to send you more information about the child you sponsor so you can pray specifically! Regardless of your ability to give financially, we covet your prayers and appreciate you all so much as we enjoy the blessing of sunshine and these beautiful children.
The goal is simple: get 25 kids sponsored at $80 each in the next 2 weeks. But this is where we need your help!! Tell your friends and let’s make this summer camp absolutely amazing!!
Help us share God’s love and light in the lives of these broken children.
With gratitude,
The Open Arms Team
