Camping
Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Scholarships provided a way for nearly 5,000 Angel Tree children to go to summer camp, where they have the opportunity to have fun, fellowship with their peers, build relationships with caring camp counselors, and experience the great outdoors.
Sports Camp
At sports camps, over 1,000 Angel Tree kids gained athletic skills and learned about teamwork and perseverance. Sports Camps is a unique opportunity for youth of all ages and abilities to be coached by seasoned college players and former professional athletes. Kids who might not otherwise have a chance to attend a day camp are treated like champions.
Opportunity Kids
In 5 urban centers Angel Tree collaborated with community partners to provide more holistic and intensive support to 50 Angel Tree kids and other at-risk kids. Opportunity Kids moved from vulnerable beginnings to victorious futures by participating in college visit days, dental clinics, career days, financial literacy classes, and more. We plan to grow to 11 urban centers by 2025.
Mentoring
Children of prisoners are at a greater risk for a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems. Prison Fellowship has partnered with 12 national mentoring organizations to match vulnerable children with caring mentors in their community. Studies indicate that mentoring by a caring adult is the single most effective strategy to build character and curb destructive behavior.
