Our five-day camps create a space where children entering or already in the child welfare system can learn to develop healthy relationships, build trust and begin healing.

Camp goes deep and break barriers - our mentoring programs go wide. Dependable, monthly contact with the same, safe adults is critical in building on that healing and trust and forming lasting relationships.

With over 200 chapters across the US and globe, For The Children is a nonprofit partnering with a network of local churches dedicated to providing unconditional love, hope and safety to children. For The Children upholds rigorous safety standards to ensure the protection and well-being of every child in our programs.

We are motivated by the example Christ set, to share a common goal, of caring for those Jesus referred to as, “the least of these.”

We believe every child deserves to experience unconditional love, hope, and safety. For The Children equips churches in 44 states and in 10 countries to provide our signature programs—Royal Family KIDS Camp and Mentoring—to children ages 6-12 who have experienced relational trauma. Specifically, we serve children affected by foster care.
