Royal Family Kids’ Camps

My name is Jaymee Penrose and I am a volunteer for Royal Family Kids Camp. boy_on_skateboardChild abuse victims, ages 7-12, who are living in out-of –home placements are eligible to attend this special camp. These children attend free of charge due to the funds raised by our board and volunteers. Nobody gets paid, everything is run by volunteers and by the money we are able to raise.

This year we are over 20,000 dollars short. So what does this mean?? This means not as many kids can attend this special camp. Each counselor is responsible for 2 campers. Last year only 80 children were able to attend camp because of lack of volunteers. One day for one child to attend camps costs 120$ A week of camp for one child costs $600.

For a week they get all the love we can possibly heap on them. 5 wonderful days filled with all the food they can eat, days at the beach where the ice cream man brings treats. Fun in the wood shop, imagination room, rock climbing, horseback riding. They get bedtime stories at night and a birthday party celebration with gifts for everyone. This is a chance for them to be children where they can feel safe;. This place is everything we can think of to express love, safety and hope.

One week out of the year may not seem like much to you, but hope is all anyone needs to make it in this world. girl_on_swing For them to know that there is hope of a better future and that they are truly loved.
