During the last week of October, we hold the Joy El Jubilee, an all day community event that showcases the the programs in our ministry. Throughout the day, numerous activities take place all over the campground of Camp Joy El. Volunteers and staff members provide events such as face painting, chicken dinners, beautiful choral music, horse drawn wagon rides, and much more. We use this time to encourage the surrounding communities to get to know us as well as prospective campers, Released Time students and their families. The day averages over 800 visitors. We need 3 to 5 corporate sponsors to help us provide this day.
