Proverbs 22:6- Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
LOHEM believes in:
- Building leadership from an early age. Not only charity, but leadership also begins at home as well. Unless you teach your child to hone leadership skills at an early age, they won’t be able to streamline or correct the mindset, perspective and attitude toward embracing a bigger and more challenging tomorrow.
- It is important to imbibe Christian behavior from childhood. Christian behavior is important in a child because it helps them to develop a strong moral compass and a sense of right and wrong. Using the holiday period is an opportunity for keeping kids constructively busy and active in their Christian faith. It is also an opportunity for recreation, fun and making of new Christian friends
Age Groups
The young ones generally absorb information in different ways at different ages. As a result of peculiar age-driven needs, the program is designed to cater for the different age groups accordingly:
This is when boys and girls of the same age group learn together in a well-coordinated and supervised manner to attain goals in the program.
In this program, only boys or only girls are enrolled. They must fall within the age group.
For this age group, there are separate holiday camps for male and female young adults.
