Camp Horizon is in its 40th year of serving foster children in Metro Atlanta, including Cobb County. We offer a weeklong summer camp, teen weekends, and mentoring for young adults who are aging out of the foster care system. We also offer events throughout the year. Our goals are to provide curriculum and activities that create enduring self-esteem, encourrage positive character building, aquiring and practicing important life skills, while being an important support system for our foster youth and families. The magic of Camp Horizon is our loyal volunteer base. At our summer camp, we provide a 1:1 camper/counselor ratio. Each camper gets an adult buddy in a safe system for the week. This unique approach allows children to build trust and feel secure in trying new activities. As they grow we have progreams to help them develop more independence, positive deicsion making, and teamwork to become productive members of society, breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect.
