PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD0 — Founded more than 50 years ago, Camp Kearney is the result of a vision given to long-time South Side Mission worker Margaret Kearney.
Margaret wanted to provide a Christ-centered camping experience for the children of South Side Mission, and it became a reality through the hard work and generosity of many people.
Camp Kearney has expanded its ministry and now offers a free week-long summer camp experience to about 400 children from inner-city Peoria and rural Central Illinois each summer.
An additional 600 children visit Camp Kearney each summer through the day camp program.
