Camp in the Box

OVC recognizes that orphans and vulnerable children rarely participate in activities outside of school that provide a safe environment to play and learn. Camp-in-the-Box is a transformational, culturally-infused camp designed to sow hope, encouragement, and new skills into the hearts of children.

The Camp engages participating children in enriching developmental activities while enhancing each child’s sense of belonging, worth, and value. Every child gets their own special box containing a pair of sneakers, t-shirt, and a host of other goodies that
he or she can treasure.

Participants learn and practice life and leadership skills.

Youth are provided opportunities designed to help them achieve a positive sense of self, sense of community, and stronger success skills.

Sessions are Saturdays every week.
