No single experience can erase the scars left by a childhood of poverty or abuse. But summer camp can bring kids healing and hope in a unique, life-changing way. Camps are memorable, fun and challenging. For a week, or even a weekend, kids have a safe place where they feel loved and cherished by caring volunteers. The memories they take with them are the seeds of hope that will encourage them to seek Christ when life is hard. And it is in Christ that true healing can be found.

In 1993, Royal Family Kids’ Camp Inc. approached Lighthouse with the idea of a summer camp for abused and neglected foster children. That first camp was a huge success with 35 kids and 25 volunteers. Currently, we host five summer resident camps, reaching more than 275 at-risk children and teens. Over 250 dedicated volunteers make camp a reality for these children each summer.
