What is involved with becoming a Partner Family and what do Partner Families do at camp?
The first and most important function you have as a Victory Partner is building relationships with families of children with special needs. (Victory Families). This is done in a variety of ways...
- Connect! We build a lot of free time in our camp schedule to allow plenty of time for Victory Partners and Victory Families to get to know each other. Creating connections through conversations leads to on- going friendships like the one between the Miller and Youngquist families. “I love what being friends with the Millers has taught me. Doug and Brenda are truly an inspiration to me, and I cherish the friendship we have” noted Tiffanny Youngquist
- Camp! All activities at camp are for the entire family. We encourage Victory Partners to participate in fun, family activities during a 5-day camp experience. You will also get to help and encourage Victory Families to participate as well. We teach and empower Victory Partners to adapt any activity or environment to the needs of their assigned Victory Family. If this seems overwhelming don’t worry, a therapist is always close by to assist.
- Community! Build a community that supports each other long after the weekend is over. When the Clemens family signed up as Victory Partners, they appreciated the intentionality involved with building relationships through a camp experience. “I loved being associated with a family, having a specific role, finding the fellowship and building community,” expressed Kristina Clemens.
In addition to building relationships, Victory Partners can expect to be asked to help set up and clean up after activities and meals. Victory Partners will also actively participate in campfire activities which may include skits, building campfires, running sound and video equipment or helping with s’mores.
Join the many other families who are raising compassionate kids through their involvement with Victory Lane. We can't wait to talk with you about this opportunity. Please reach out to Tiffanny Youngquist, Victory Lane's Assistant Director, for details about our upcoming camps.
Make a difference this summer.
