Camp Duncan is a wilderness camping experience designed to give girls and their families an opportunity to work out problems through a highly structured alternative service designed to help them grow socially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and academically. Therapeutic camping takes a team, or group-work approach to building relationships between camp staff , the family and the camper. Through these relationships, deep hurts are healed and lives are changed. Located on more than 600 acres, Camp Duncan offers the freedom of being outdoors and the structure of small groups with constant, caring supervision. Girls live in groups of ten with three counselors, called “Chiefs.†With the help of their peers and Chiefs, campers learn discipline, positive behavior patterns, and self worth. Camp spirit and team effort are vital. A girl at camp soon learns that she is an important part not only of her success, but also of the success of her group.

It does not take much to fall into one of the extremes regarding the immigration issue facing our country. On the one hand, there is the call for the expulsion or deportation of all immigrants, particularly undocumented immigrants, from our country. On the other hand, there are those who want laws completely ignored and, in the name of care for the poor, actively work against the government on behalf of immigrants. The Jubilee Institute seeks to strike a Biblically rooted middle ground. This balance will not always be easy. But we honestly and earnestly believe this path best exemplifies how God would call us to seek to serve those at the edges of society while also paying due accord to our nation’s laws.
