Tim Tebow, a Heisman Trophy winner at University of Florida who played for Philadelphia Eagles in the 2015 preseason, is transforming a tract of land in the Poconos into a Christian-oriented summer camp for children with disabilities.
BEAR CREEK TOWNSHIP, PA. – The lakefront log cabin is a retiree’s dream, but Tim Tebow doesn’t plan to spend the rest of his days reminiscing about old touchdown runs on the picturesque front porch there.
“My heart, and the heart of my foundation, is to be able to bring faith, hope, and love to the world’s most vulnerable people,” Tebow said in a statement to the Inquirer “People who are in crisis, those who have been thrown away, those who need someone to fight for them. On this piece of land — a land that we truly feel has been set apart — we have a vision to do just that.”
“Their intent was that this property be used to serve and glorify God,” said Matt Anderson, president and CEO of Rising Light Ridge. Rising Light Ridge, when completed, will cover just 110 acres of the property but most of the land will be open for hiking and horseback riding for campers.The Tim Tebow Foundation estimates that Rising Light Ridge will employ 50 to 60 people, full time, on a year-round basis. An additional 150 people could be employed there, seasonally.
