RESULTS TO DATE

Summer 2022 was Skylark’s second full summer of “proof of concept.” We had 10 weeks of camp at five Dallas locations with fabulous church partners (CityBridge - Plano, Cottonwood Creek - McKinney, Irving Bible, TCAL - Mansfield and Hillcrest - Cedar Hill). Watch highlights at campskylark.com/video

Key results include:

• Served 925 campers and their families who attended a total of 2,594 weeks (averaging 2.8 weeks per camper)

• Approximately 25% of kids/families were “unchurched” (Goal is 50%)

• Saw 30 campers accept Christ

• 26% of families received scholarship assistance

• First year to test SIGMA reading program

We are refining the model and working through the best approaches to sharing the Gospel with the kids and families and connecting them to the host church.

Fun Stats

• 238 Morning Gauntlets

Every morning the staff run around the drop-off cars. When kids get out, they celebrate the arrival of each camper, complete with fun music, dancing, jumping and cheering. One parent affectionately dubbed them “The Happy People” and said she was tempted to swing by on her way to work even on days when she wasn't dropping campers off.

• 488 Rally Sessions!

The kids gathered twice a day to dance to music, watch a silly skit, play games and have a Bible lesson
