Royal Family KIDS Camp
Scripture is definitive about God’s abundant love for the orphan and his command to his church to care for and serve these image-bearers.
One way our church has joined God’s desire to seek justice and relational renewal is through Royal Family KIDS Camp (RFKC), an annual summer camp we host with the mission to share the joy and love of Jesus with children and caretakers 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.
RFKC is a week-long overnight camp for campers aged 6-12. This year’s camp will take place Sunday, June 15, to Friday, June 20. 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. You can learn more about the heart and details of RFKC by listening to this episode of the Drop In podcast.
If this sounds like a substantial endeavor…it is! We need our church to participate in big ways for this to happen. Here are some ways you can get involved:
Sign up a Camper
If you’re a caretaker or social worker who’d like to sign a prospective camper up for camp, visit our page for campers:
Volunteer
RFKC is a beautiful opportunity to witness for Christ to many of the most courageous and vulnerable children in our city. RFKC and its companion program, RFK Mentorship, require a team of faithful, dedicated, selfless, and caring adults ready to serve in a multitude of ways. Applications have closed for this summer’s camp, but you can still be involved in caring for families and children in foster care in different capacities.
Donate
Please consider supporting the kids and camp financially. RFKC is completely self-funded so no child has to pay a dime to be there. Whether it’s giving $5, or paying for 5 kids to go to camp, everything helps. If you’d like to make a donation, you can do so through our giving app, PushPay:
Pray
Stay tuned—we’ll continue to update this page with prayer requests as we get closer to camp each year!
