Kids Across Africa Camps-Rwanda has established plans to build a camp and retreat facility on 200-plus acres of beautiful lakefront property located on the shores of Burera Lake in northern Rwanda. Our camp leadership team is working hard with the goal of hosting approximately 3,000 Rwandan young people and their group leaders by the camp season of 2010. We have launched our capital campaign to raise the $4.7 million urgently needed to make this camp dream become a reality. KAAC-R is being designed to host some 250 kids, 75 counselors and summer staff and 50 group leaders during each camp session. KAAC-R will offer seven-day sessions, bringing in young people and their leaders from communities and villages all across Rwanda and East Africa. During these sessions, campers will meet new friends and build relationships with caring counselors and staff members who are dedicated to sharing the message of hope and love. In addition, camp will offer some 25 exciting sports and activities with outstanding facilities and equipment for aquatics, basketball, boating, soccer and tennis. KAAC-R will also include a gymnasium, outdoor church, office, nurses station, maintenance garage, boat dock and cabins and lodging for camp friends and families. With first class facilities and a dedicated staff, our African camper friends will find hope and vision for the future during each session. After experiencing Kids Across Africa Camp, young people will leave with a balanced life philosophy, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually, and will be equipped to bring the message of God's unconditional love and acceptance back to their families, schools and villages.
