How does it work?
Zoom! Your box is shipped to your doorstep. Shazam! Your child completes 5 daily quests to join the Orange Cape Society’s Hall of Heroes. Pow! Your child gains superpowers like empathy, compassion, and perseverance. (And yes, it’s really free, we just ask for your feedback about your child’s experience.)
Your child’s mission:
Your child will be a sidekick to child heroes worldwide in their quests to fight minions like Mr. Germ Worm, The Scrambler, and Hunger Volt. In your child’s final quest, they defeat the minions’ boss, Dr. Dream Basher, to join the Orange Cape Society’s Hall of Heroes.
Example: Quest #1
Mr. Fuego and Captain Cool run the Orange Cape Society, and they’re summoning YOU to be Everlyn’s sidekick to defeat Mr. Germ Worm.
Everlyn has to walk, a LOT, because she doesn’t have running water in her home. Every day, she walks four whole hours just to get water for her family. That takes a big chunk of her time, which could otherwise be spent in school, at church, or playing with her friends. Even worse, because of Mr. Germ Worm’s evil deeds, her water isn’t even clean. Sometimes it makes her and the rest of her family sick. This fellow superhero needs our help. Let’s show Mr. Germ Worm that it’s more fun to be a hero than a villain!
Today, follow the instructions in your quest packet to set up a chalk obstacle course. Using a small cup, carry water from the full bucket at one end of the obstacle course to the empty bucket at the other end. Don’t spill!
Who in the world is World Vision?
World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. Read more about our work.
We created this Hero Camp box as a tool to help parents pass on their values of empathy, compassion, and servant leadership to their children.
Why are you giving away the Hero Camp Box?
Donors with young families have shared with us how hard it is to talk to their children about the poverty faced by boys and girls around the world. We put together this activity kit to help kids learn about compassion for others in a fun, respectful way, without making it too sad or scary. We’re giving it away as a limited test — we just ask that you provide feedback about the camp through a 5-minute survey (the link to the survey will be emailed to you).
What age range is this for?
Some 12-year-olds might love it, and some 5-year-olds might be able to do it independently. But it’s ideal for kids ages 6-11.
How many children is this made for?
Each quest has activities that can be done by one or more children. In the form you complete to request the Hero Camp box, you can indicate up to four child participants. We’ll include additional superhero gear for each child if you’ll have more than one doing Hero Camp.
How much supervision is required?
It depends on the child. We’re parents too, so we know how hard it can be to keep kids busy (and parents sane!) during the summer. Our goal was to create something that kids can do on their own. We’re also realists, so a little help from you can make the experience richer for your kids. Pro Tip: Consider having an older sibling be their “camp counselor.”
How long will the activities occupy my child?
Plan for 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete all parts of a quest. You can always break the quests into shorter chunks of time for the younger kids.
What will my child learn?
By joining child heroes who are living in poverty around the world, your child will learn about their struggles — as well as their resilience and ingenuity in overcoming the obstacles that hold them back.
