Sign Up a Child for Royal Family KIDS Camp
Royal Family KIDS Camp (RFKC) is an annual summer camp hosted by Reality LA (a non-denominational church in Hollywood) with the mission of creating positive, life-changing moments and relationships for children who are or have been involved in the foster care system.
The camp is tied to a yearlong mentorship program centered on cultivating healthy, encouraging, and positive relationships between our volunteers and campers throughout the year (we are happy to follow up with more details on this portion of our program, which begins in the months after camp and continues through to our next summer camp).
RFKC is a week-long overnight camp for campers aged 6-12. The week includes zip lines, Nerf battles, skits, incredible music, pool time, fresh-baked cookies and stories with “Grandma and Grandpa”, tea parties, chapel time, meal times with songs busting forth out of nowhere, a talent show, and so much more.
Each camper will be paired with one of our background-checked and trained volunteers who will be their ”camp counselor” for the duration of the camp. There will never be a time when campers are alone, and there will never be times where a child is one-on-one with an adult. We have a “two deep” rule that ensures there are always multiple adults present with the kids, as well as many other policies to create a safe environment for the campers so they can focus on one thing…having fun!
An average day at camp involves breakfast, morning story and teaching time (a Bible story), crafts and fun games, pool time, lunch, open activities time, skits, music, and much more. We also have talent shows, mini-concerts, and the RFKC birthday party for every camper! All in all, kids can expect a classic summer camp experience!
If you have a child you’d like to participate in this camp we need, please fill out the online application (one for each individual attendee.) The applications will go live in mid-April. Click the button below and we’ll send the application your way when it goes live.
We look forward to connecting with you and hope to partner alongside you!
A note for anyone seeking to get involved: as a faith-based organization, RFK cooperates with Social Services to support their care and safety of the children. There are specific policies and practices in place to ensure that this camp will not proselytize (force the children to change their beliefs) from what they have been taught in their homes. With those in place, this is a camp organized and run by a non-denominational Christian church and does include times of Bible stories, prayer before meals, and other rhythms reflective of the faith-based organization we are. We may explain what the Bible means to us personally and answer any questions the children may have concerning our own beliefs. However, we will never dictate that they must comply with our teaching or coerce them to convert to Christianity. The focus of the camp is the campers, their safety, and creating a week-long camp full of fun and impactful moments. No participation in any part of camp will be dictated by a profession of faith or adherence to certain practices. Children of all faiths or no faith are welcome at Royal Family KIDS. We are happy to answer any specific questions you have about the campsite, the schedule, the activities, the policies, the practices, or the goals of RFKC. Please reach out to us at rfkc@realityla.com with any questions.
