New Year, New Mentoring Matches!

The Camp War Eagle Mentoring Program is so excited to have 19 new matches this year! Twenty children were matched, including 10 elementary school kids, 6 middle school kids, and 4 high school kids. Mentors, mentees, and parents are ecstatic about the program and the endless opportunities it provides for students to be connected to a role model in their life.

Ann Marie Gonzales was recently matched with Allie Rohrbach. Eddie Gonzales, father of Ann Marie Gonzales, is “thrilled to for my daughter to have a female role model in her life.” One cool story about Allie and Ann Marie’s match is that Ann Marie rolled her eyes about college when they were first met. After only two weeks, Allie said Ann Marie began to say “so when I am in college…” Allie is so excited to continue to talk to Ann Marie about college through their meetings each week!

Another sweet story is the match between Raegan Loughridge and Molly McGehee. Both Raegan and Molly have Turner’s syndrome, a rare disease for girls. This common bond they share has brought them even closer. Molly loves hanging out with Raegan, whom she describes as a “little sweetheart.” Molly is excited to get to spend time with Raegan, and for the opportunity to pour into her life!

Another match to highlight is Jose Caballero and James Musick. Jose and James met this summer at Camp War Eagle’s Day Camp while James served as his counselor for two weeks. Now Jose and James get to spend time together each week! It is so cool to see how friendships from summer can continue to flourish throughout the year.

Sydra Stanley and Suzanne Rinks also were matched this fall as well. They love playing basketball together. Sydra says “Suzanne isn’t super coordinated which is why it is so funny to play basketball together because Suzanne is so funny to watch.” The fun times they share have made for a great match!

Matthew Kressen, a future mentee of Enoch Graham, is also excited to be matched! Sylvia Kressen says: “I feel blessed. My goal is that Matthew would grow up to be a man of God, always putting God first in his life. Matthew needs a male to confide in that will teach him and help him make it through stages of life.” Sylvia loves the Camp War Eagle program and the great support it provides for campers like her son.

This years matches have been off to a great start! The CWE 365 Mentoring Program is thrilled for to see these mentor-mentee relationships deepen and the great memories that will be made each week as they hang out together.
