Children's After-School Program
The community of South Camden is known to be one of the poorest and most dangerous areas in the city of Camden. Fellowship House provides the children of this community with various programs targeting spiritual growth, academic growth, and positive social growth.
During the school year, children from grades k-4th attend the daily After-School Program. The After-School Program is a fun place for the children to learn more about God, to complete their homework, to play in a safe environment, and to participate in various activities and trips. Teens from the local area are hired in our job-training program as 'streetleaders' to lead groups of children during snack, homework, activity, and Bible times. We also partner with the Interact Club from Haddonfield and Haddon Township which provide tutors each day for the children.

| Summer Program for Children |
-
During the summer, Fellowship House Ministries runs "Camp Peace," a six week summer program. College interns come from all over the United States and Britain to work with the local teenagers in running a high-energy day-camp. Mornings are spent in Bible Study, Art, Recreation and other classes as well as breakfast and lunch times. The afternoons and evenings are spent in Sports activities and small group mentoring activities.

Camp Peace is a safe, fun, and positive place for the children of South Camden.

Our passion is that the often "forgotten children" of Camden will know they are loved, have confidence in their value, and believe God's promises to give them a hope and a future. Most of all we want each one to come to know Jesus Christ as there personal Savior and Lord.
