Camp Amplify Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it. Hear from those directly involved what Camp Amplify means to them.
“There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to the partnership that has been built with Boys & Girls Clubs of the TN Valley. Thank you for having patience with our children. We bring some kids who need the most love and you go beyond to meet the kids where they are and fill them with love. There are moments where all the love opens wounds, but those wounds are filled with love and allowed to heal properly. I honestly cannot find the right words for the impact you made on my club’s kids and own son. My son has been shown so much from his counselors and that is so motivating. This summer both his counselors were returning counselors, so he already knew them and that made it so nice. Also since a lot of the counselors are returning each year it allows me to tell my club parents how much I love and trust the counselors and that puts some of their fears at ease. Thank you for everything,“
“We are glad to support Camp Amplify in providing a quality Christ-centered camp experience for kids who might otherwise never have the opportunity.”
Testimonials from Camp Ampilfy Community Partners
“My name is Christy Creek; I am a staff member here at New Beginnings Ministry as well as a parent of two of the children that were able to attend Camp Amplify back in June 2019.”
Christy Creek
Assistant Administrator, New Beginnings Ministry
“I met Chris earlier in the year and he presented an opportunity for all of our children that are ages 7-12 to have a week experience at camp in Tennessee. The response was overwhelming from the staff, parents, and the kids who were getting the opportunity to go.”
Melissa Van Hall
Administrative Director, New Beginnings Ministry
“This past July, The Tarvers invited youth from my Boys & Girls Club to attend their week-long summer camp, Camp Amplify. We were new to the summer camp experience, so were unsure what exactly to expect. Our children and staff were met with so much love and support, and that love and support has extended well past that week of camp.”
Grayson Martin
Vestal Boys and Girls Club Program Director
“Everyone that was involved with making the camp run smoothly gave their hearts and to be honest we left some of ours with Camp Amplify. Thank you for a great week. We can’t wait until next summer.”
Stacey Ramsey
Unit Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of Jackson County/Commerce Club
Testimonials from Camp Ampilfy Counselors
“I just wanted to tell y’all I got another job offer at Disney, but I turned it down because I would have to miss camp next year. That’s how much camp means to me. If there is anything I can do to help prepare now or in the coming months I would love to! I know this is what God wants me to do and I’ve never felt more joy in anything else.””
~Katie (counselor with us for two years)
“Camp Amplify changed my life in so many ways and brought me closer to God. It strengthened my faith in a way I honestly can’t put 100% in words…Them doing Camp Amplify changes lives in so many ways and not just the Campers but the Counselors. I am so happy God called them to do this and I pray I am able to help every year!”
~Margie
“I had a strong connection with every single one of the campers, and I can’t wait to see them next year.”
~Gracie
“It may seem cliché but Camp Amplify was truly a life changing experience. Watching these children develop a love for Jesus over the week-long period we were with them was unbelievable. As their counselor, being there for them through their growth was absolutely unforgettable.”
