RFK 2026 Dates

July 27th-July 31st, 2026

What Is Royal Family Kids Camp?

Royal Family Kids Camp is a one-week resident summer camp especially designed with the foster child and other at-risk children in mind. These camps are part of a growing network of camps nationwide that meet strict safety, training, and effectiveness standards as set by the national organization, For The Children. The camping experience is geared for success, recognizing the needs of abused, neglected and abandoned children. The activities are non-competitive, non-threatening and fun, which builds trust, self-esteem, and self-worth.. 

Each child is paired with an adult counselor (there's a strict ratio of one adult counselor to every 2 campers). All counselors and staff are volunteers who have been carefully screened and trained to work with children in the dependency care system, so caregivers can be assured their foster child is in good hands. This camp empowers abused and neglected children with hope, resiliency, self-esteem, and positive memories through unforgettable summer adventures that last a lifetime.
