A Custom Fit
Some roles at camp are a custom fit for specific individuals, all designed and put together by God. As you’ll see, Clara is a fine example of such a fit.
Clara had a bee in her bonnet. She witnessed the whole process of our princesses selecting their dresses for the tea party, wearing their outfits with pride, and then sadly returning the dresses when the magical afternoon was over. Just like Cinderella. This just would not do, Clara decided.
Clara’s dream of “Say Yes to the Dress” was born. This tireless saint recruited the women at her church to collect such an array of dresses, that each girl could keep her precious party dress and take it home, to be enjoyed over and over.
Clara and her helpers took the shopping experience one step further for the young ladies. Not content to let the girls use safety pins to ensure an exact fit, the dresses were marked and sewn for a custom fit on tea party day.
Years and countless dresses have passed through Clara’s generous hands. Hundreds of “royal highnesses” have felt the love of Jesus because of a dear woman and her refusal to accept anything but the best for our campers.
