About Our Chapter
Our Chapter’s Beginning
In the year 2000, one of our church couples, who were actively involved in fostering children who had endured the trauma of abuse and neglect, came across Royal Family KIDS Camp. This camp was specifically tailored to provide a nurturing environment for these traumatized children. Recognizing the need for such a camp in Racine County, where children aged 7 to 11 had experienced similar trauma, we made the decision to establish our own Royal Family Kids Camp. In 2002, we officially launched our inaugural camp, which was an overwhelmingly positive experience.
For 14 years, the most challenging aspect of our camp experience has been the emotional farewells we bid to our campers, anticipating the year-long absence of communication. In 2016, we discovered a solution: our Royal Family Kids Mentoring Club. This program enables us to engage with numerous former campers on a monthly basis throughout the academic year, fostering enduring connections and providing ongoing support.
Royal Family Kids Camp
How do we inform you about our exceptional summer camp? Since 2002, approximately 60 dedicated volunteers convene at a campground in southern Wisconsin. They eagerly anticipate the arrival of a busload of children aged 7 to 11 for a week-long camp experience. These children have faced challenging circumstances, including abuse, neglect, abandonment, and frequent relocations in foster care or other out-of-home placements.
Royal Family Kids - Mentoring Club
For many years, we bid farewell to our campers at the conclusion of their stay, uncertain of the possibility of future encounters. However, thanks to our Mentoring Club Program, Royal Family KIDS has the opportunity to make a lasting impact on our campers from September through May.
