Royal Family KIDS Camp

Since 2008, in conjunction with Royal Family KIDS, Inc., the leadership has directed a one-week, overnight camp for children in the foster care system. These camps serve to create positive memories, instill a sense of purpose and value, and teach these children that they are special, loved, and valued. These camps serve as a great foundation for all Waymark activities.

During this week, the children experience normal camp activities such as swimming, fishing, rock climbing, canoeing, Chapel, and team games as well as specialized activities such as “Everybody’s birthday party,” a Superhero Event for the boys, and a Princess Ball among many others. Children receive a memory bag, Bible, photo album, an mp3 player with songs from the week, and much more.

Camp is provided free for our families. The cost to us for this week-long, once-in-a-lifetime experience is $800 per camper. That’s where you come in. Even if you cannot cover the entire cost of one child, any size gift will make an impact.

Training, as well as an application and interview process, is required for all full-time volunteers.

This year, ALL Waymark volunteers (new and returning) who will be staying overnight at camp—are required to complete all 3 of the following IN-PERSON training courses BEFORE they will be allowed to serve:

Best Practices: Understanding Waymark’s culture, mission, and how we facilitate safe relationships with youth who have experienced foster care.

Foundations: An introduction to Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and how we support children and youth through connection, empowerment, and correction.

Camp Volunteers: A camp-specific training, provided on the second night of training before each camp, to ensure all volunteers are prepared for the unique aspects of serving in a camp environment.

We believe every youth has a purpose and that our community has a duty to listen and value them throughout their development and into adulthood.
