Just about one year ago, historic floods decimated parts of eastern Kentucky. Many people in the region continue to rebuild and recover from the physical and emotional devastation of a major flood.
Camp Noah is a special day camp focused on resiliency and preparedness for children who survived the floods.
Outside, it’s a hot summer day in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. But inside the air-conditioned Floyd County Community Center, it’s comfortable. This is where a group of kids between the ages of 5 and 12 attend Camp Noah. It’s a week-long day camp designed for survivors of disasters like last July’s floods that hit eastern Kentucky. Camp music coordinator Melanie Turner leads some of the children in a song about hope and the future.
