Police remove 88 children from church summer camp after abuse claims
State and county agents removed nearly 90 children from a Christian summer camp in Iowa this month amid allegations of abuse, according to local law enforcement. Camp leadership has publicly denied that any abuse occurred.
Kingdom Ministry of Rehab and Recreation's three-week Shekinah Glory Camp in southeast Iowa's Louisa County was cut short June 12 and 13, when law enforcement executed search warrants on the camp and another property owned by a Kingdom Ministry staff member. The camp serves youth from Myanmar's Chin ethnic group who are struggling with substance abuse issues. The area is home to a significant Chin community, but youth came from around the country to attend the camp.
