GOOD NEWS: Royal Family Kids Camp in North Idaho
Like many of you, I am tired of the constant bombardment of the network media about how bad life is right now. So, I am doing something about it and I would like to encourage you to do the same. I am blogging for 30 days about POSITIVE things I see going on in my community. So far, I have been faithful to my calling and this is my 4th installment in the series.
But now, I'd like to introduce you to...
Royal Family Kids Camps
"Every year in our area, hundreds of children are removed from their homes and placed in the foster care system because of severe abuse and neglect, or even abandonment. For most of these children, they will lose hope, and feel as if their life has come to a deadend, even before it has begun.
A national organization, Royal Family Kids' Camp (RFKC) developed week-long camps for abused, neglected, and abandoned children who have been placed in foster care. For many of these children, their week at RFKC is the first time ever in their lives they have felt security, warmth, and love from dedicated adult caregivers. For them, it can be a life-changing experience.
Lake City Community Church has sponsored and operated such a camp for the past four years, and eagerly looks forward to its 5thyear. When children arrive at RFKC they are assigned a caring counselor, along with a surrogate "grandma" and "grandpa" and "aunt" and "uncle." For many of these campers, this is their first experience of how a real family functions. They discover self-worth, and a feeling of success as they accomplish projects and make friends.
We would love for you to share this opportunity in serving these children with us. If you are interested, read on..."
I would like to encourage you to get involved in one way or another. If you live in North Idaho, please consider contacting RFKC to see how you can help. If you live elsewhere in our great nation, look for opportunities to serve those around you.
There is no better way to take your eyes off your current circumstances than to look into the eyes of a child.
Thank you...Maryellen
