This camp week is an amazing opportunity for brothers and sisters who have been separated by foster care or other out-of-home placement to join together to enjoy the many camp activities which include swimming, hiking, ropes course, beach activities, arts and crafts, archery and other fun activities. In addition to these daily activities, we also plan special events such as a theme night, a carnival, and the very special birthday party where siblings swap birthday gifts, eat cake and ice cream and sing songs. Some other camper favorites include making scrapbooks with photos taken at camp and exchanging sibling pillows/quilts that include written sentiments from the brothers and sisters.
All of our programming is focused on the sibling relationship and promotes quality time with siblings. Camp is also a great opportunity for campers to meet others who have experienced similar situations and we have often witnessed mutual support and understanding amongst campers, especially during some challenging times. The Camp week has proven an invaluable and memorable experience for campers and counselors alike.
As we prepare for our third year of Camp To Belong OC, we bring with us a great deal of excitement and anticipation. Our camp volunteers will be made up of people from all walks of life, some veteran CTB counselors and some newbie’s, all bringing a passion for the mission of CTB – to Give Siblings Their Right to Reunite™! With our combined experience, knowledge and the support of CTB International Headquarters, we are committed to making the process of referring and preparing campers as efficient as possible for the children and for the social workers and care providers who are so generous to take the time to refer youth to camp.
2012 Camper Applications will be available in February. Please bookmark this page and come back then.
