Love for a Child
Summer camps are designed to bring joy for each child. Team-building games, individualized child recognition and the celebration of hope are just a few things we look forward to giving each child at camp. The camp experience allows children to be kids in a controlled environment where they are taught skills and activities they will come face-to-face with in life.

Royal Family Kids Camp
At the Royal Family Kids Camp, children receive the attention and encouragement of an adult camp counselor and his/her “buddy camper.” Each camper is exposed to a variety of fun activities designed for their success and to build self-esteem. For most children, it’s the best week of the year – a special time when they can focus on having fun and enjoy being a kid.
