PES offers a Middle School Service Camp every summer to rising 5th-9th graders that models our mission to challenge students’ minds, bodies and spirits while also inspiring them to be caring citizens and world changers. Our campers spent last week giving back to the community in BIG ways by making/delivering sandwiches for neighbors in need, helping Galilee Ministry with gardening and “adopt a street” clean-up projects, working around our campus on various beautification activities as well as helping faculty/staff, caring for CMPD shelter animals, packing snacks for Crisis Ministry uptown while learning about their community outreach programs and free store for those in need, and serving as reading buddies and role models to our younger Camp Gryphon campers.
