    Among Lions: Daniel Youth Bible Study Series

    “Among Lions” is a youth Bible study series for teens and young adults, featuring lessons from the Old Testament book of Daniel. It’s fitting for a youth group or Sunday School series, a summer camp theme, discipleship retreat, or small group study. Though this story is popular with young people, the curriculum and discussion format can easily be adapted for any age Bible study group, men’s or women’s ministry, or prison/juvenile center ministry.

    2021 Updates: New Summer Camp Venue

    Summer Camp Venue: Smoky Mountains

    We are entering our 15th year of facilitating life-changing adventure camps for under served children across East Tennessee, and we have some exciting new developments for 2021!

    This summer, Breakaway will be facilitating our flagship residential camp at a new venue in the Smoky Mountains (Tellico Plains area). Additionally, we will continue to expand our “micro camp” experiences that began in 2020, with a new partnership in Fairhope, Alabama, providing an overnight camping experience for underserved children in the lower Alabama region.

    A couple of new sports day camps are also in the making, with a prospective baseball camp in Cleveland, Tennessee, and a basketball camp with some of our ministry partners near Ocala, Florida. We appreciate your prayers and support as we enter into a new season of reaching kids for Christ and opportunities to empower more youth and children through communities of faith, hope, and love.

    Lacey’s Story: Fatherless, but Never Forsaken

    Abandoned, But Not Forsaken

    Lacey started coming to Breakaway summer camp when she was 6-years old. Though she was abandoned by a father who ended up in prison, she was never forsaken. The Bible says, “God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy” (Psalm 68:6 NLT). Now as a second year Lee University nursing student, Lacey shares a heartfelt story about overcoming childhood hardships and how the Breakaway community became a refuge for her. Having a father in prison, or living in the foster care system “doesn’t define you.” You choose what defines you. We always have that choice no matter what kind of cards we’ve been dealt in life. Prepare to be inspired!
