For individuals, children, seniors, and families facing hardships in any season and stage of life, The Salvation Army is here for healing and hope. We offer services including emergency food, clothing, furniture, and temporary shelter. We also offer seasonal help for children, including back to school assistance and new winter outerwear. In addition, we offer support through holiday assistance for entire families, and rental, mortgage, and utility assistance.

True North

We will be hosting our summer day camp! 

We host campers ages 6-13 for our six-week, on-site summer day camp providing breakfast, lunch, weekly field trips to parks, the roller skating rink, and the pool, arts and crafts, performing arts, fellowship, and Friday field trips to places like Lake Tobias, York Revolution, Laser Alleys, etc. Campers visit our learning center twice a week participating in STEAM and bridging the gap of academics during the summer months. We charge $200 for a camper, but special rates apply to families with more than one camper. Your donations help offset the costs we pay (roughly $860 per camper) allowing camp to be affordable for those in York County. 


This year's theme will be True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World.  

Our crew members aka campers will experience the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As they trek the tundra, they'll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what's true in our wild world today. It can be hard to find our way, but together we can give our crew members a rock-solid foundation.

Will you help our crew members navigate a wild world?
