WHY CAMP?

Many ask this question, WHY CAMP, and the solution that is Camp Grace was born out of the one life that was changed in our Executive Director. Growing up poor in East Liverpool, Ohio, Dave was one of the four kids whose future, as most in a factory town, was to work in a steel mill. As a young kid his world was expanded when he experienced a change in his environment. As he competed in a gymnastics meet at Ohio State University the dream of going to college was born. Today, he is the only one of those four children to not only hold a college degree, but two masters degrees as well.

As an alumni of The Ohio State University, he credits his drive to accomplish this goal to the change in his environment. Later on in life, another change occurred in his heart when he accepted the truth of Jesus Christ. He credits the vision, success and drive of Camp Grace and so many other accomplishments to this change of heart. At Camp Grace we want to create an environment that creates dreams, changes hearts and inspires life change.
