Royal Family Kids' Camp is a one week resident summer camp especially designed with the foster child and other at-risk children in mind. These camps are part of a growing network of camps nationwide which are all sponsored by a local church. The camping experience is geared for success, recognizing the needs of abused, neglected and abandoned children. The activities are non-competitive, non-threatening and fun. Each child is paired with an adult counselor (there's a strict ratio of one adult counselor to every 2 campers). All counselors and staff are volunteers who have been carefully screened and trained to work with children in the foster care system, so you can be assured your foster child is in good hands.
