Camp

Kids should be Kids | For the Forty

Camp

Love for a Child Kids Camp is a one week experience for children in foster care, ages 6-12, to create childhood memories in a safe, fun filled environment. Our faith focused overnight camp was created for children of trauma, to be given the opportunity to create positive lifelong memories. Kids Camps are located throughout Michigan, hosted by a trauma informed and trained team of over 200+ volunteers. At camp, each foster child participates in swimming, lakefront activities, rock climbing, arts & crafts, a birthday party, princess tea party or man walk, engaging teaching lessons, boat rides, bon fires and more. Our goal is to serve each foster child at camp like royalty and to celebrate their achievements. For almost two decades , our camp has been in existence to teach foster children that God’s love can heal the hurt with hope and replace loss with actions of authentic love. In a World where children of trauma can feel very overlooked, they have become our primary focus. We believe at camp, Kids should be Kids, and to provide childhood memories, where they have been stolen from them. It’s also for adults, to connect with people of compassion, serve a deserving group of children, and to help find their own greater purpose. Authentically and wholeheartedly, everything we do is, Love for a Child.
