InsideOut youth ventures
is a local youth mission camp. During the summer we have four weeks of camp. Each week different youth from all over come to participate. During the day the students do community service projects such as home repair, building wheelchair ramps, neighborhood clean up and more. The students serve people who are unable to help themselves due to financial or physical limitations. In the evenings we provide a variety of programs for the youth from concerts, cook-outs, roller skating and more. We are a faith-based organization and our programs do reflect that. We mostly serve youth groups who attend with their leaders and chaperones. This might be a great opportunity for a group like FCA or even just a group of students who come with chaperones to really serve and make an impact in Polk County.
