Fostering Bulloch
Details
Opportunity Details
Fostering Bulloch has started developing an outdoor recreational facility to serve children in foster care in Georgia and at-risk youth in our community. Our first step was to secure a land footprint that would become a light on the hill for kids in need of guidance and direction. We currently own 30 beautiful rolling acres that were formerly Smithfield Golf Course, including 20-foot elevation changes and a 5-acre pond. Originally, hundreds of thousands of dollars of site work went into developing the course and making it spectacular — there is even a Bald Eagle that lives in the area! The adjoining property and backdrop for the campground is a spectacular 300-acre lake. Once completed, the facility will have a cabins, a rock wall, a zip line, fishing docks, an archery range, a low ropes course, athletic fields, and canoes.The venue will be intentionally designed to host Teen Reach Adventure Camps (TRAC). TRAC camps focus on revealing the love of Christ by giving foster youth a space to share their stories. Our goal is to show them they are valuable and valued in the eyes of God. These kids get seconds on everything – families, schools, clothes, siblings – 7th Mile is being built for them first; however, they are expected to share it with everybody else. Our facility will be available year-round for other agencies serving youth, offering them a safe place to play, forgive, and heal.
We are in need of volunteers who are willing to donate their time and energy to help care for the grounds through basic yard work such as mowing, picking up pine cones, weed control, etc.
Thank you for your support.
