CLAIRE MCDOWELL
CAPERNAUM COORDINATOR
Fun Fact: I am an artist! I love painting, ceramics, mixed media, and more.
I was born and raised in Wichita, KS, and it’s an honor to serve as the Capernaum Coordinator while also teaching elementary art in Wichita. Outside of Capernaum and teaching, I love spending time with my family and friends, playing card games, eating good food, and hosting people in our home. My husband, Trevor, and I have been married for three years and are the proud owners of two cats. We love opening our home to others and making memories with the people we love!
How can you help the Capernaum area?
- The cost of summer camp is higher for Capernaum because of our leader costs. We take many more leaders who are giving of their time and energy to be a buddy for a week, we don’t like to also make them pay for camp as well. Carolina Point, where we are going this summer 2022, is a camp designed for kids with disabilities in mind. It will be our first time going there, I would like to take as many kids and leaders as I can. This will only be possible if the community's generosity can help us raise $15,000.
- Adults who have a heart for kids with disabilities to spread the word about Capernaum to neighboring schools, churches, and communities. We have the capacity to keep growing.
- Adults who would love to be on our Capernaum committee and help with events and supporting our amazing leader team!
Please contact Claire McDowell if you are able to help with any of our needs.
