The Salvation Army camp counselors are equipped to help children navigate the complicated emotions and struggles that can arise for those who experience poverty and related hardships. Counselors are trained to recognize the effects of the stressors of poverty on children and respond to a child’s emotional needs so kids feel safe, included, and welcome. The Salvation Army states that its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The Salvation Army also serves local families through Kroc Community Centers, which offer after-school programs, recreational opportunities, and community programs dedicated to fostering healthy futures. With over 400 after-school programs nationwide, The Salvation Army provides kids from communities that are underserved with access to a safe place to study, read, learn, connect with friends, play sports, and enrich the mind.
