West Side Ministries - Summer JAM

Current Pack Leaders and Support Staff click here to see what's new at BASE CAMP!

T3S facilitates a half-day camp called "Summer JAM". The JAM provides at-risk urban youth a safe place to hang out, have a hot meal and learn about the wonderful plans of our amazing God. We play crazy games, create wonderful crafts, make new friends, listen to great Bible stories and even conquer a ten-foot long banana split. We have two sessions, one meeting Wednesdays and the other on Thursdays. T3S also has summer internships available where willing hearts come and are actively trained in urban ministry.

We are pleased to announce
"SUMMER JAM 2010"
