Project #87289: Latino/Hispanic Youth Passport Camp Project
This project will provide scholarships to allow up to fifteen Latino/Hispanic youth from low-income immigrant families in Virginia to attend Passport Missions camp during the summer. The goal is to provide these young people with a Christian camping and missions experience, and to provide ongoing follow-up after the return from camp.

Detailed Description:
Many of these youth deal every day with life in low-income and dangerous neighborhoods, with abusive relationships, with limited English skills, with peer pressure, or with low self esteem. The majority of them do not attend church on a regular basis.
Our hope is that the camp experience will be a life-changing event for many of these youth as they learn of God's unconditional love and forgiveness for each one of them and have the chance to serve others as they learn what it means to be the hands and feet of Christ in our world.
