ABOUT US
Camp Galena is a fundraiser to help send at least one kid a year to Camp Barnabas, a camp for kids with special needs. It began as a project for a group called Legacy Youth Institute (LYI). A small group of selected students from schools around the Branson area would convene on Wednesdays to talk about taking leadership in our communities.
​
On one particular Wednesday at College of the Ozarks, our group from Galena High School decided to raise money to help send a kid to Camp Barnabas.
We were able to raise enough money last year to send a kid to Camp Barnabas and this year we were in a class that challenged us to help out our community. We decided to hold an auction and chili/wing cook-off to raise more money to help send another kid to Camp Barnabas this year. We took it another step by creating a scholarship for kids around the SWCL conference with special needs.
