Camp Joshua is a three-day pro-life camp designed to teach students how to be effective pro-life leaders. It will be held July 28-30, and will include informative workshops and activities on a variety of pro-life issues such as abortion and euthanasia. Just as Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho, participants of Camp Joshua are charged with leading their generation in the bringing down the walls of the culture of death in today's world. Camp Joshua is part of the Life and Leadership Youth Camp Initiative, a nationwide pro-life program developed by National Right to Life, Louisiana Right to Life and Wisconsin Right to Life. For more information, contact Rose Mimms at Arkansas Right to Life at (501) 663-4237.
