What Happens at Camp?
A six-day, five-night camp experience where brothers and sisters placed in separate foster, adoptive, or kinship homes share new adventures side by side, guided by caring volunteer counselors.
The Camp Experience
Supervised by trained volunteer counselors, campers' days are filled with fun and meaningful activities that give siblings the chance to try new things side by side. From sunrise to lights-out, every moment is designed to nurture the sibling bond.
Sample Activities
- Horseback riding
- Rafting
- Swimming
- Wall climbing
- Art
For one week each year, siblings separated by foster, adoptive, or kinship care are reunited at camp to share the simple joys of childhood together. From sunrise greetings to the final goodnight, every hour is shaped around giving brothers and sisters the meaningful time they rarely get to spend side by side. Campers stay in supervised cabins, share meals at communal tables, and enjoy a full schedule of adventures designed to nurture the sibling bond. The week is intentionally unhurried, balancing structured activities with relaxed moments so children can simply be kids together. It is a rare opportunity to create memories and moments they truly deserve.
Days at camp are filled with a vibrant mix of activities that encourage play, growth, and connection. Campers might try horseback riding across open fields, paddle together on a rafting adventure, or cool off with an afternoon of swimming. Wall climbing builds courage and trust, while art sessions offer a quieter space for self-expression and creative play. Between organized events there is plenty of free time to explore, share stories, and enjoy games with new and old friends. Every activity is chosen with the sibling relationship in mind, giving brothers and sisters a chance to cheer each other on through both the bold achievements and the gentler, more reflective moments of the day.
Beyond the fun, camp weaves in signature programs that support emotional empowerment and healthy social maturation. The Life Seminar Program invites campers to reflect on their experiences, build communication skills, and develop a more positive outlook on the transitions they face. Volunteer counselors serve as steady, caring guides, helping siblings process feelings while encouraging respect and openness. Group discussions and shared activities gently reinforce themes of encouragement, belonging, and personal growth. By pairing adventurous play with intentional conversation, the program helps campers strengthen the bonds they already share while gaining tools for navigating life apart. The result is a week that feels both exhilarating and grounding, leaving children with renewed confidence and a deeper connection to their brothers and sisters.
The impact of this shared week often lingers long after camp ends, reaching into the everyday lives of the children it serves. Siblings leave with a stronger sense of connection, a brighter outlook, and memories they can return to during harder times. Many campers describe the experience as a rare chance to simply be together, free from the routines and placements that usually separate them. Parents, guardians, and social workers frequently notice a renewed emotional warmth between brothers and sisters in the weeks that follow. Because camp is granted through charitable dedication rather than purchase, every reunion represents a meaningful investment in childhood relationships. The week becomes a foundation, helping siblings feel valued, supported, and reminded that their bond is something worth cherishing.
