We’re excited you’re interested in Royal Family KIDS Camp this year! Royal Family KIDS Camp is a one-week, overnight summer camp for children experiencing Foster Care. Our high staff-to-camper ratio allows us to tailor our fun-focused activities to each camper. Royal Family KIDS Camp fosters resilience, self-esteem, hope and positive memories
- making moments matter!
Your child or children are eligible to attend camp if they will be 7-11 years old in July and are currently experiencing Foster Care, or have in the past.
Please work with the caseworker to obtain approval for your child to register for camp. The caseworker can assist with the application process. The RFKC team is happy to help answer questions. Just email or call.
Camper applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis, please apply as early as possible:
Deadline is June 15th
This year we are accepting 24 campers.
Our RFKC Child Placement Coordinator will reach out to you after your application is submitted and provide info for next steps.
What is all the fun about??
Here are some memorable moments that take place at camp:
Lots of Attention from Caring Camp Counselors
We understand many campers have experienced difficult and often traumatic events in their short lives.
Volunteers are background checked, attend mandatory training, and learn to interact with campers using the Trust-Based Relational Intervention model.
Our schedule and curriculum are designed to create positive experiences with each camper - and we can’t wait to be with the kids!
Tons of Fun Activities
Counselors and staff have fun with campers each day swimming, hiking, fishing, crafting, face painting, riding bikes, field games, archery, bug collecting, and more! Hanging out together makes it all the more fun!
Breakfast Club, Chapel, Drama & Eye Spy
Skits, songs, bible stories, dancing, games, and lots of laughs and high fives fill most mornings at camp. Will we find the forgetful professor, lost on a jungle safari? Does the wise Queen save her kingdom with her humble heart?
Or maybe a camper was caught in the act of being kind, selfless, and caring - we will applaud them with an Eye Spy Award!
These group activities are intentionally infused with positive messages of hope and kindness.
There is so much more that takes place at Royal Family KIDS Camp.
We are excited to partner with you to give your kids a fantastic week in the great outdoors!
