Home / Programs / Summer Enrichment Camp

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”

The Mission is invested in the health and well-being of our community’s children. Our Summer Enrichment Camp is a 5-week program that reaches out to Frederick County students in need of support, offering a summer filled with new experiences and constructive activities in a caring atmosphere.

In 2026, 116 kids enrolled in SEC in Frederick, Walkersville, and Thurmont.

We focus on grade-appropriate academic goals for students, social and behavioral growth, and spiritual development, incorporating lessons from the Bible to teach character-building.

Matthew 19:14

Brenda Bell

Rescued Treasures Coordinator

Brenda coordinates the volunteers who sort clothes and assist guests in Rescued Treasures.

She has been working with people in poverty since 1981. She says, “First, I befriend them. Then I find out what they need and refer them to the program that could best help. I only help people who want help, and only in the ways they want help. Some people have addiction problems and don’t want to leave the street. I’m still their friend.”

Carol Switzer

Faith House Program Coordinator

Carol coordinates the programs at Faith House, working with residents to help them develop skills for independence. Carol also runs Crossed Bridges with her husband Jonathan. She enjoys playing any sport with a ball, crocheting, bike riding, and spending time with her husband and five children.

“He who loves God must love his brother also.” (1 John 4:21) explains what wakes Carol up in the morning to begin a new day; being able to serve the Lord while working with people, whether it be administratively or relationally. She loves hearing the testimonies of how Jesus has changed people’s lives, especially because He’s done so much for her!
