During that time, the youngsters raised $600 for the camp which is held annually at the Spiritual Center at Maria Stein. Shown here in a check presentation are State of the Heart representatives Chris Killian and Marlene Black. Killian is a volunteer who assists Black, camp director, during the weekend camp. Killian and his wife Bev made a presentation one evening at the VBS. Also, pictured in the front row are three of the children who attended the bible school, left to right, Rhese, Sunni and Quinci Voisard.The funds will be used for next year’s camp which is scheduled for July 12-14. The camp is free and open to any child needing help dealing with grief. The bible school donation will pay for two youth to attend camp. This year, 64 young people attended the camp.
