CampExperience will not only change your life, but the lives of women and children supported by our Partner Charities
Women Who Have Helping Women Who Need
One of the experiences that enriches our lives is to truly help others. CampExperience™ is designed for the Campers and teachers to recognize the needs for safe housing and family support services and to respond to help other women with our time, talents and resources.
100% of the on-site Camp activities of participation in Optional Personal Services and shopping at the Camp Bow-tique are donated to the Charity Partners. Betsy and the Camp Committee also recruit Matching Grant Sponsors who donate money directly to the charities. In 2006 we raised $19,000 and in 2007 we raised $32,000.
Each Camper will be asked to bring three new or gently used items to “sell” in our on-site Camp Charity Bow-tique store. Picture our own specialty shop, full of treasures marked at fantastic prices. The Camp committee also finds new items from shops and individuals around Colorado.
Where can you shop, buy the coolest giftables, jewelry, crafts and accessories AND support women and their families from our Partner Charities?
Well at the Compass Bank Camp Bow-tique of course! Our committee had the BIG IDEA that all of us can donate our “re-giftable” stuff (that purse that you never liked, those never-really-worked candle sticks from Aunt Susan, that jacket that is too big/small, you know… the stuff in the re-gift closet!) to our on-site Bow-tique. Then at Camp we will shop, with 100% of the sales donated to the Partner Charities.

We will remind all Campers about bringing a donation to Camp or we are happy to collect it before we go. For more information about the Compass Bank Charity Bow-tique or to donate your stuff……..contact volunteer chairman Tammy at Tammydenver@yahoo.com

Founded in 1892, the Denver Rescue Mission is the oldest full-service, human service provider in the Rocky Mountain region. For the past115 years, the Denver Rescue Mission has been serving the poor and needy through emergency services, rehabilitation, transitional and permanent housing and community outreach.
Last year the Denver Rescue Mission provided 552,473 meals, 157,553 nights of shelter, helped 21 individuals receive their GED, 62 individuals graduated from our News Life Program, 9,240 visits to client services, distributed 310,000 pounds of clothing and through a unique program called Family and Senior Homeless Initiative (FSHI), we have collaborated with the city of Denver and the faith-based community to help 292 families and seniors into permanent housing.
The Denver Rescue Mission has partnered with the city of Denver to create The Family and Senior Homeless Initiative (FSHI). This program helps homeless, working families and seniors secure stable, long-term housing. FSHI is a response to Mayor Hickenlooper’s call to the faith based community for 1,000 congregations to embrace and mentor 1,000 homeless families during Denver’s Road Home, his ten year plan to end homelessness.

Denver's Road Home
29% of homeless respondents in Denver are women.
60% of the homeless are people in families with children.
Denver's Road Home is Mayor John Hickenlooper's plan to end homelessness in Denver within 10 years. Together with the City and County of Denver and the Mile High United Way, foundations, corporations and individuals are pulling together as never before to ensure the homeless have housing and services. After two years, Denver's Road Home is reducing homelessness and will continue building on its success so no man, woman or child has to face the tragedy that is homelessness.

Partners in Housing, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Mission & Objectives
The mission of Partners in Housing is to provide homeless families with children the hope and opportunity to achieve self-sufficiency through supportive services and transitional housing. The prime objectives of the PIH self-sufficiency program are to assist those homeless families attain permanent housing, further education, employment with adequate income and family stability. We accomplish this critical mission by providing our Partner families with housing for up to two years, during which our case workers assist them in developing an individualized service plan designed to help them achieve their ultimate goal of becoming socially and financially self-sufficient, contributing members of our community.
Families in the program are provided a wide variety of life skills training, monthly budget counseling, and are strongly encouraged and supported in furthering their formal education to better prepare them for true, permanent self-sufficiency. Partner families are also provided direct assistance in accessing mainstream supportive services to help them stabilize their situation while working toward their objectives.

TESSA's mission is to help women and their children achieve safety and well-being while challenging communities to end sexual and family violence.
TESSA is the primary agency dedicated specifically and solely to the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault in El Paso and Teller Counties in Colorado. Currently, TESSA has over 50 staff (full-time and part-time) working to serve clients in seven different locations. TESSA offers a wide variety of prevention, intervention, and treatment services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and limited services to offenders.
In 1975, TESSA (formerly known as The Center for Prevention of Domestic Violence) was conceptualized in response to community volunteers' alarm at the frequency of calls from women threatened or assaulted by their intimate partners. At the time, domestic violence was considered a private matter and few resources were available to help victims. This initial effort to provide information to victims of abuse has grown into an award-winning agency dedicated to the intervention in and prevention of family violence. In 2001, The Center for Prevention of Domestic Violence changed its name to TESSA to better reflect the scope of our services and our organizational values. Originally an acronym, the name TESSA now simply represents the thousands of women served and supported by TESSA over the years.
