Autumn’s Center and Camp Autumn are named in honor and memory of three-year-old Autumn Elgersma, of Orange City, Iowa, who died on October 31, 2013, two days after being hospitalized for injuries she received from her daycare provider. Since her passing, Autumn’s light has continued to shine through her story and the impact it has made on northwest Iowa. Autumn’s mother, Jennifer, along with her husband Phil, and children Faith and Jared, are dedicated to creating awareness on child abuse and serving as an ambassador to help protect our community’s children.

There is no footprint so small that it does not leave an imprint on this world.
