Camp dBR hosts children and teens with Tourette’s syndrome for a tuition-free (the only tuition-free TS camp in the nation) three-day camping weekend.
For most, this camp is the only time they feel free of prejudice or embarrassment about their symptoms.
Ages: 6-18.
We can accommodate the needs of most campers, but the weekend outing has some limitations in accepting children whose needs are beyond the scope of its resources. Campers must be able to handle daily routines such as dressing and personal hygiene.
Campers are assigned to cabins based on their age and gender.

I will be his Father, and he shall be my son. I will never take My love away from him...
1 CHRONICLES 17:13
Fathers in the Field leads boys outdoors, away from distractions, where they can relate one-to-one with a man they admire.
We reach them through single mothers, eager to give sons a father figure – a role they cannot fill alone.
Boys aged 7 to 17, who urgently need male role models.
We do require a three-year commitment (one year at a time) from participants, to provide constancy
We require that boys ‘earn’ the program’s blessings by serving others.
Above all, we strive to impart unshakable faith in a Heavenly Father who will never abandon His children.
Free of charge – we are funded by charitable sponsors and participating churches.
The Wash and Learn Initiative (WALI) is a collaboration between library systems, small business owners, and local nonprofits that brings relevant information and critical services to underserved communities through the laundromat.

These pop-up libraries include computers, specialized software, offline servers, and access to programming on a variety of topics relevant to local needs and interests, from English language learning to tax preparation and beyond.
