Tommy Rhodes is the founder of Barefoot Republic, a Christian summer camp experience that encourages kids from all walks of life to share in community, learn teamwork, and build lasting friendships. Tommy launched the camp in 1999, and since then, they’ve had 24 incredible summers ministering to children from around the country. At least half of the campers who attend Barefoot Republic sign up for artistic specialties workshops like singing or arts and crafts, which helps bridge the gap between kids with different socioeconomic backgrounds. Youth dive into devotionals and are given the chance to do things that they’re passionate about. Paid positions are also available for young adults who are interested in assisting the campers.
