We operate in conjunction with three strategic partnerships:
-
For The Children: With over 200 chapters across the U.S. and globe, For The Children is a nonprofit comprised of a network of local churches trained and dedicated to providing programs that create life-changing moments for children in foster care.
-
Communion of Saints: We operate as a DBA Royal Family KIDS under their non-profit umbrella and have a Faith & Service agreement between For The Children and Communion of Saints.
-
El Paso County DHS Child Protective Services: We take social workers to Camp as additional support staff and work with DHS, foster & adopt, and kinship/kinlike providers to get kids to Camp.
PROGRAMS
CAMP
Camp is a weeklong summer camp for foster children, ages 6 to 12. Camp 2026 will be held June 8-12 (volunteers attend June 7-12). RFK adult volunteers run our Camp week for 64 foster kids each summer.
MENTORING CLUB
Mentoring Club is for RFK Little Campers (who attended Camp the summer before) to be mentored one-to-one by RFK staff from September to May the school year following Camp. Adults are paired one-to-one with kids for mentoring and a mini-Camp experience (Club) once a month.
VOLUNTEER
Each year, we take applications for 80+ adults (18 and older) to serve at Camp. Every full-week volunteer needs to pass high-level background checks and attend 12 hours of training. Each one-day volunteer needs to pass background checks and attend 8 hours of training.
