In an effort to do no harm, and to preserve the integrity of an outstanding camping experience at Asbury Hills, one that you have come to know over the last 58 years, it is with heavy hearts that we the staff and board make the most difficult decision to suspend camp for the summer of 2020.
We can only imagine your disappointment in this devastating news after everything else we are sure your family has had to endure over the last few months due to COVID-19. We will continue to keep your family in our prayers as you begin to make alternate plans for the summer. We will provide various online resources that you might want to take advantage of to help you and your child cope with the loss of not being able to attend camp this summer.
Please keep us in your prayers as well as we begin to navigate the tough waters ahead. For full details on this, please visit www.asburyhills.org/covid-19.
