Our Mission

Making a Difference: Royal Family KIDS Camps

At World's Collide Ministries, we are deeply committed to addressing the profound challenges faced by children in the foster care system. That's why we champion and support initiatives like Royal Family KIDS (RFK) Camps, a program specifically designed to provide healing and hope to these vulnerable children.

What is Royal Family KIDS?

Royal Family KIDS (RFK) is the largest network of camps and mentoring clubs in the United States dedicated to serving children who have experienced neglect, abuse, and abandonment. Founded in 1985, RFK's mission is simple yet profound: to create positive childhood memories and a safe, loving environment for children in the foster care system.

The core of their work revolves around a week-long summer camp experience that offers:

• Unconditional Love and Support: Each child is paired with a dedicated, trained counselor who provides one-on-one attention, empathy, and positive reinforcement.

• Positive Childhood Memories: Camp activities are designed to be fun, engaging, and memorable – from swimming and fishing to arts and crafts, talent shows, and birthday parties (many children have never had one).

• A Safe and Nurturing Environment: RFK camps prioritize emotional and physical safety, creating a space where children can simply be children, free from the worries and trauma of their daily lives.

• Hope and Healing: Through the compassionate interactions and the camp experience, children are given tools and positive experiences that contribute to their healing journey.

Why RFK Camps are So Vital

As we've highlighted the severe challenges faced by children in foster care – including high rates of homelessness, educational struggles, mental health issues, and vulnerability to exploitation – it becomes clear that interventions like RFK are not just beneficial, but critical.

RFK Camps provide:

• A Break from Trauma: For one week, children can escape the instability and emotional burden of their foster care experience.

• Building Trust: The consistent, loving attention from counselors helps children learn to trust adults again, fostering healthy relationships.

• Sense of Value: Being celebrated and cared for helps build self-esteem and reminds children that they are worthy of love and attention.

• Long-Term Impact: The positive memories and relational skills gained at camp can have a lasting impact, providing a foundation for future resilience and growth. Many RFK programs also offer year-round mentoring to continue this support.

Our Commitment to Royal Family KIDS

At World's Collide Ministries, we believe in the power of a single week to change a child's life forever. We are actively seeking a host church to support our Orange and Seminole County Royal Family KIDS Camp 

We invite you to learn more about the incredible work of Royal Family KIDS and consider how you might get involved. Every act of kindness, every hour of volunteering, and every donation helps provide a child in foster care with a week of hope, healing, and unforgettable memories.
