Racine Royal Family Kids Camp is a week long summer camp for children that have been abandoned, abused and neglected, the majority of them are in foster care. Royal Family Kids Camp fosters resiliency, self-esteem, hope and positive memories. The camp curriculum and activities are woven through the modality of Trust-Based Relational Intervention to ensure our children are experiencing truly life giving activities throughout the 5-day experience. Racine Royal Family Kids Mentoring Club program includes skills mastery, character building, and fun — plus individualized attention from trained adults who are effective role models. Research shows even one school year of commitment makes a difference—and children from the most difficult situations benefit the most from mentoring.
Royal Family Kids values are dignity, belonging, security, courage, prevention and transformation. Children that are abused, abandoned and neglected have a higher chance of academic failure, teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, sex trafficking, homelessness, incarceration, and prison.
