I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. This summer has definitely not been the norm for anyone to say the least. Jacob’s Chance has gone through multiple changes adjusting to our new normal. We are having ups and refuse to have any down moments! Together we are going to make it through and continue to “Make Great Things Happen”.
UPDATES Summer Fun for Everyone Camp
For the month of July Jacob’s Chance has been conducting a virtual zoom summer camp. For the past 4 weeks, 17 campers have virtually flown all over North America and then off to South America, Asia and Africa. I would like to thank Brooke Cable for her hours of planning, leadership, and vision along with all of the incredible instructors, Andrew Diakun, Lauren West, Lyn Dodge, Elizabeth Brown, Claire Hsieh, Gail Wood, Lily Chapman, Ellen Chaves, Janai and Jaqueline Santiago, Keenan Huntingwolf Stewart, Landry Harris, Carter Tan and Eliza Tan, Kefu Dorion, May Suri, Naana Amissah and River City Gymnastics, Darby Atwel, Jake Smithson and Angie Smith. The campers did music, art, dance, stem, gardening, language, yoga, crafting, and cooking. On Fridays, we took virtual tours of the countries by way of friends across the globe. What a FUN trip!
Adventures with Jacob’s Chance Fishing Club
In July, Jacob’s Chance started the in-person Fishing Club run by our good friends at Beyond Boundaries. We were able to get in 2 fishing dates until the heat moved in. Our makeup dates are Aug.4th (day the tropical storm is to hit) and Aug. 11th. For those that have registered for The Fishing Club, I will send out an update Monday afternoon. If you are interested to join in our fun, please go to Fishing Club to register.
Jacob’s Chance Personnel
Jacob’s Chance was sad to say goodbye to our dear friend and assistant, Landry Harris. Landry joined The Jacob’s Chance family 2 years ago doing marketing and Executive Assistant. We wish her lots of success on her new path. Landry, you better come back and volunteer! We will miss you!
Families, please join me in congratulating Brooke Cable as Jacob’s Chance first Program Director. Brooke has been volunteering for The Arts with Jacob’s Chance program for almost 2 years. Many know Brooke through our music classes and our recent summer camp. Brooke is a graduate of The University of Georgia graduating with a Music Therapy degree. We are excited and honored to have Brooke a part of The Jacob’s Chance team!
