Just Three Days

Locked in a cage. Severely malnourished. Major learning and behavioral issues. In and out of 18 homes in 12 years.

"I've heard about your camp," the foster mom wrote. "And I want Bailey to go." Bailey arrived at Teen Reach Adventure Camp socially behind and extremely malnourished. How could three days impact a life so shattered by pain?

The teenager who showed up the following year didn't resemble Bailey at all. This young man had ground 5 inches and gained 30 pounds; his confidence soared. Hope shined from eyes that had once been so empty. But the sweetest change of all was laughter; Bailey laughed throughout the entire camp.

"I can't believe it," the director told his foster mom. "You've done an amazing job."

Bailey's new mom got choked up. "I couldn't have done it without T.R.A.C. He came out of his shell after his first year at camp. Three days saved Bailey's life."
