Summer 2024 was full of fun, fellowship and growth at Methodist Children’s Home. Family Outreach staff educated and supported families with a variety of events, gatherings and services in our 14 communities across Texas and New Mexico. A group of Waco campus residents experienced a faith formation camp at Glen Lake Camp & Retreat Center in Glen Rose, Texas. Youth and staff also enjoyed several field trips to fun locations like Austin Park N’ Pizza and The Dallas World Aquarium. Day Students volunteered with Meals on Wheels throughout the summer. Spiritual development ministers and a group of students worked with UM Army on various home repair and construction jobs for those in need in the Athens, Texas community. MCH staff members taught youth about vaping prevention and healthy relationships during residential summer camp. Youth were further inspired by motivational speakers including Prairie View A&M University athlete Camdyn Parsee. Summer camp concluded with a water day at Heritage Park on the Waco campus, where residents enjoyed water slides and field games. MCH is blessed to have had such a joyful season empowering all we serve to experience life to the fullest.
