Royal Family Kids' Camps, Inc. is the nation’s leading network of week-long residence camps for abused, neglected and abandoned children. Local churches create Royal Family Kids' Camps by partnering with Child Protective Services and Foster Care agencies.
RFKC is a camp where kids are allowed to be kids for a week. A week filled with activities designed to make them feel safe while they have fun, and most of all, a week that “Creates Positive Memories” for each child.
All the children in attendance have similar backgrounds, and therefore do not feel like they are somehow "different" than any other child at camp. The camp curriculum and activities are designed specifically to build self-esteem. Finally, the camp guides are trained to handle the unique needs and behaviors of these children.
