One parent shared that her son was always singing  Matt Maher’s “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)”. One camp leader shared that Justin Bieber’s  “Hold on” keep resonating in mind and spirit. \nThe camp staff and volunteers worked tirelessly throughout the summer in all circumstances to provide a safe\, fun-emotional\, spiritual\, and physical activity charged experience for campers and themselves. \nSpecial Thanks! \n\nGod\nWard Memorial Baptist Church\nShining Stars Camp Can-Do staff\, and volunteers ( special shout out to drivers)\,\nCSJ 2023 grants\, GISSYS Board of Directors\, Frank Giustra Foundation\nCentre Street Church and Global Ministries\nRBC\nSponsors \nFriends of Shining Stars\nPacific Grace Life Group\nPrayer warriors\n\nFor support\, direction\, donations\, post-secondary bursaries\, and camp scholarships. \nIt truly takes the proverbial cliché- “It takes a village to raise a child”. \nG&I Shining Stars Youth Society is founded and anchored on the intentional and deeply  held belief that every child/youth is precious and takes all part of the village to care for and nurture them to be leaders and influencers for good in the now and future generations. Two campers shared a poignant verse-  “Let us not become weary in doing good\, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9 NIV). \nWhat an experience this has been\, to see shining stars kids who first participated as children yesterday\, work this summer as leaders and site supervisor impacting the lives of campers for tomorrow.  Leaders\, volunteers\, and some campers also helped in the preparation of over 400 care meals for extended community in Vancouver’s DTES ( with additional help from Pacific Grace life group in Port Moody). Interestingly\, 3 persons were previous volunteers / staff of Shining Stars After-school and Camp Can-Do. \nA very special thanks to CSC-Global ministry youth team and leaders who spent a week working together with the Shining Stars Team\, sharing \, inspiring and shining points of light on site \,ending with a community  carnival outreach: sports\, RC Cars\, popcorn\, cotton candy machine\, BBQ dogs. Many in the community were surprised that they were welcomed to participate without cost. \nWe come to the end of our “Shine\, Inspire & Care Adventures\, but it’s not the end but a continuation of better days and things to come as we work together in community. \nShining Stars After-School will begin on Wednesday\, September 13\, 2023. \nShining Stars Camp Can-Do Summer Classes and Adventures 2024 will begin on July 2nd. \nNote: Donate your bottles and cans to  G&I  Shining Stars Youth Society.
