“Camp Agape” may just be two small words, yet they are full of power and love! For over 35 years, Camp Agape has been a signature ministry for the Metropolis of San Francisco Philoptochos, and not even the pandemic could stop the love that is shared unconditionally with children who are battling cancer. The Metropolis Philoptochos Board and Chapter members quickly mobilized during the pandemic so that these special families did not miss out on the opportunity to participate in Camp Agape in a virtual format. And while some of the campers have sadly been lost to cancer over nearly four decades, the Metropolis Philoptochos also celebrates the survivors – the thrivers – who have conquered the mountain called cancer and continue to live life to its fullest. It is a privilege for the Metropolis Philoptochos and the over 100 volunteers strong, to serve, love, and grow the Camp Agape family!
In 2022, Camp Agape will return to its traditional in-person programs with two Camps in California, one in Arizona, and one in Oregon.
The need is great! Can we count on you to give your heart to a child?
