This week, God has changed my life for the better. The first day when I came here, I was in a very dark place in myself. I was depressed and upset at everything and everyone. I never thought it would happen like this. I fell in love with God at this camp. I even got baptized.

When I came to this camp I was depressed and ready to give up. But after this week I have had a change in my heart. I am no longer a slave to fear, depression or social anxiety.
Thomas Hodges
This week I realized that God saved me, He forgave me, He leads me, He protects me and He loves me. I have met a lot of fully spirited people like Pastor Kevin, Chuck, Jennifer and the Camp Anderson staff that have impacted my life and I love you all.

I feel like I am wanted at this camp. It has made me realize that I am not worthless and that I am not a mistake. I struggle with depression and feeling alone even though I am a Christian. Coming here to camp has helped me. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

This week I have been saved and baptized and I have given my whole life to God making Him my king! I have learned to love and pray and worship Him everyday. I have repented to the lord and GodÂ’s spirit is in me and he is my best friend!

I no longer think I am worthless. I understand now that people do love me. I found God in my time of need and learned to believe that I can change and not be the person that I used to be. On this sunny, beautiful and loving day, Friday June 9th, 2017, I was baptized and I wil never forget those who helped me on the way. Thank you and I love you all

Camp has given me hope. It has given the chance to start over and redeem myself. I've never felt much more alive than I do now. I have learned to forgive all the people that have caused me harm. Of Course, it does not mean that IÂ’ve forgotten about my past. But I wil eventually. I know that I have friends and Jesus by my side to help me through. I have now made a decision to follow Christ. Thank You so much. YouÂ’ve helped me realize that IÂ’m not broken or useless.

Tyrell Thomas
When I came to camp I was afraid to trust in God. I was thinking How could He love me when I ve said and done so much wrong? After I heard Kevin talk about how much God loves me, I was able to believe and to trust him!

This is third year of bring students to Camp Anderson. Every year I am amazed to see how God works in and through my students and leaders. I ve never been to a camp like Camp Anderson. I have attended camps as a teenager and I ve been taking students to camps for 18 years and No camp that I know has the vision to reach lost students like Camp Andy. The partnership of Churches, the camp, and the outreach to the Fostercare system of Florida makes for a unique and extraordinary opportunity for leaders and students to be on mission the entire Aaron Pilant week the lost in your own cabins. FBC Bradenton Every toyearreach that I have attended, I have had the opportunity to lead my own students to Christ, but also students that have no Church connection. My students absolutely love this place. Every year as we are driving away, I hear from the bus Can we come back next year? , I want to work here , I want to live here . Thank You, I am eternally grateful for the life change in my students! I LOVE the mission here at Camp Anderson. This is like a mission trip and Summer camp all rolled in one! Our youth group has grown closer to the Lord, each other, and the other campers that we have met here. It is amazing to see kids that I ve been praying for, from our Church and from the foster care system come to know Jesus this week. We will definitely be back! Megan Philippus

Wow! I have been to several different camps when I was traveling in college and I have never experienced the level of care that we have here at Camp Anderson. I felt like my kids were in good hands, no matter where I was and that is because of the staff here. Thank you Pastor Kevin and Mr. Bloodworth for sharing your heart and passion with us. We look forward to partnering with you guys on future events, not just camp week. Thank you for your transparency and the care that you show for all of the kids at this camp. I have never met a camp pastor and director that make themselves so available. Thanks for an incredible experience!
