of our service into Philadelphia County by opening a Supportive Housing
Program in Center City. We are already seeing great success in helping youth

Camp
Horseshoe in Orefield, PA (now named Camp Fowler) was purchased in December of 2004 to be
utilized not simply for recreation but also for therapeutic programs and to
further our mission of helping troubled children. Through a generous in-kind
grant, two teams of AmeriCorps volunteers provided their services to help
improve the camp. A third team will be servicing the camp in 2006. In
addition, a Capital Campaign was begun to help with this project's goals.
