Lasting impact — first-year camper's faith growth, family baptism
"Carter learned so much about himself. He built a solid relationship with Christ, something that he didn't have before camp. He found some independence, he gained self-worth, made new friends, and had amazing role models for counselors. Carter's eagerness to learn more about Christ has continued onto his sister, and going to church has become something the kids greatly look forward to. This has motivated all four of us to get more involved with our church. We plan to be baptized as a family later this summer."
Camp Cho-Yeh — founding, setting, and Christian mission
Established in 1947, Camp Cho-Yeh is a premier Christian Camp and Retreat Center in Livingston, Texas, about an hour north of Houston. The word 'Cho-Yeh' comes from the local Alabama-Coushatta language and means 'land of tall pines.' For decades, Camp Cho-Yeh has been a place where both youth and adults have grown in their faith and character, while having fun, and helping people grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Camp Cho-Yeh is accredited by the American Camp Association, a member of the Christian Camp and Conference Association, and is a member of the Better Business Bureau.

Lasting impact — parent testimonial, independence and confidence
"I love the independence that the camp experience gives my daughter. She is an only child so sometimes I feel she struggles with letting go of me. I am so happy she feels comfortable and safe at Cho-Yeh and I can see the growth each time she comes home from camp."
