Royal Family KIDS

Loving Children from Hard Places with Consistent, Life-Giving Relationships.

What is Royal Family KIDS?

Royal Family KIDS is part of the national ministry For The Children, whose mission is to create life-changing moments for children in the foster care system who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

Through a summer camp and year-round mentoring, Royal Family KIDS provides a safe environment where kids can play, laugh, and simply be kids — surrounded by trained, caring adults who show them dignity, belonging, and hope.

Why It Matters

Children in foster care have often seen the world at its worst. Many are moved multiple times, carry trauma they didn’t ask for, and struggle to trust adults. Royal Family KIDS steps into that reality with consistent love, positive memories, and healthy relationships that speak a better story over their lives.

What Camp Looks Like

For one week each summer, children are paired with committed counselors who stay with them throughout camp. Activities are intentionally structured to build confidence, connection, and joy —including swimming and crafts as well as celebrating Christmas and birthdays (even if their birthday isn’t that week).

Relationships are the heart of Royal Family. Every child is seen, known, and celebrated.

Mentoring Beyond Camp

Our Royal Family team is committed to relationships after camp through mentoring. These ongoing touchpoints help build trust and provide stability long after camp ends.

The Impact

A week at camp is not a quick fix — but it’s a spark. Over time, positive memories, safe adults, and a sense of belonging can help interrupt the cycle of trauma and move a child toward healing and resilience.

Ways to Participate

Every role matters — and every child deserves a week where they’re reminded they are valuable, chosen, and loved
