Campers can be registered by their foster parent, adoptive parent, kinship parent, case worker/manager, CASA, or GAL. All applications are completed online and will require electronic signatures from one or more parties of the youth’s resource team.

Cost of Camp

We work year-round to raise funds to provide camp scholarships to as many siblings as possible. Therefore, the number of scholarships available is dependent upon the success of our fundraising each year. We encourage the Department to consider the utilization of state funds available to youth in care for recreational activities to help offset the cost for siblings to attend.

Our hope is to never deny a sibling to attend due to lack of funding. We will work with each individual request according to their need and do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible.
