HOW TO PARTNER WITH BROOKHAVEN RETREAT TO SEND ABUSED AND AT-RISK KIDS TO CAMP

I'd like to share with you how you and/or your organization can help meet a very real need in the lives of kids and make 2008 a better year for them. Each year, Brookhaven Retreat hosts hundreds of at-risk kids at camp. These are typically kids from impoverished homes---kids from areas where drugs and violence are a part of everyday life. The vast majority of these kids come for Royal Family Kids Camps, a national program that provides a positive, memorable camp experience for kids that have been reported as abused---physically attacked, emotionally damaged, sexually molested, or severely neglected, often by the people they have loved and trusted most.

Brookhaven hosts more Royal Family kids than any other camp in the nation. By doing so, we help provide an amazing experience for kids like Abby: 11-year-old Abby received her photo album on the last day of camp. Her expression was one of "This can't be true" and then one of absolute delight as she exclaimed, "There are photos of me! I don't have any photos of me!" She went on to tell her counselor that her older sister had a photo of herself, but no one had any of her. She had been in and out of foster care all her life, and somehow nobody ever thought to take photos of happy memories of childhood. Maybe until this camp there had been no happy memories---now she has a book full of great memories!

So, how can you give kids like Abby an incredible camp experience? Read on.
