It takes a lot of crayons, books and other supplies to run a summer camp. Below is a list of items we need to create a meaningful summer for our participants. For more information on conducting a supply drive at your church, please contact Chelsea Jones at chelseajones@ctcumc.org or 817-531-6539.
Library Books
We accept donations of new or gently used books appropriate for elementary aged students. A great way to collect books is through a book drive at your church, school, office or with a sports team. For suggestions, or to purchase new, please see our Amazon wish list. Or, to learn more about hosting a Scholastic Book Fair, contact Chelsea Jones at chelseajones@ctcumc.org or at 817-531-6539
