The Rowan County Salvation Army helps local folks in the community with your contributions. We assist local agencies in helping house individuals experiencing homelessness, fund the construction of accessiblity ramps for folks who cannot afford them, and this year we were able to sponsor and send local kids on an adventure to summer camp at Camp Paradise Valley. Please consider volunteering your time to ring the bell this holiday season.

For generations, kids have looked forward to going to summer camp each year. The Rowan County Salvation Army is trying to make this experience possible for 7-12 year olds in our community. Camp Paradise Valley will be Monday, June 23-Saturday, June 28, 2025. This camp has been running since 1973. It is in Burkesville, KY (Dale Hollow Lake area). It’s about 3 hours from Morehead. Our local Salvation Army will be providing bus transportation to and from the camp. There is no cost; however, there is a list of items that the kids would have to bring with them. If you are interested, please call Christian Social Services to work out a time to come in and go over the information packet. Registration must be completed by May 31, 2025. If interested, please call 606-784-5329.

Be sure to select Camp Paradise Valley and the dates June 23-28 when prompted on the website.

While the Rowan County Salvation Army is happy to be able to offer this opportunity for local residents the camp is located in Burkesville, KY and our board and volunteers are not directly involved in the camp. We can attempt to answer questions in the comments, but may be limited in the information we can provide. We would encourage anyone interested to search the camp online as there are many good resources showing the experiences offered there.

Christian Social Services has another group coming to build handicapped ramps June 23-26, 2025. We have three possible spots still available. If you are in need of a ramp, please call 606-784-5329 by Tuesday, May 6. To be considered, you must live in Rowan County, unable to afford to build your own ramp, and have an immediate need due to your medical circumstances.
