We mobilize the local Church to create life-changing moments for children who have experienced trauma

For The Children is building a world free of family-induced childhood trauma by providing direct services — promoting physical, emotional and spiritual healing for child victims of neglect, abuse, and abandonment through intervention programs, education and advocacy.

06/04/2026

Camp season is here, and across the country and around the world, Royal Family KIDS Camp programs are already beginning to welcome children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and relational trauma.

For five unforgettable days, these children will experience safety, joy, belonging, and the unconditional love of caring adults. Every game, conversation, and shared moment has the potential to make a lasting impact.

As camp season unfolds, we invite you to join us in prayer:

"Lord, we pray for our volunteers. As they care for our campers, guide them to the moments that matter, and let Your light shine through them.

Father, we especially pray for our campers. May they hear Your voice and know they are seen and deeply loved by You. Let every moment draw them closer to You and guide them as they learn to follow Your lead."

For The Children, Chapter Success Team

Please join us in praying for every child, volunteer, and camp team as life-changing moments begin to unfold this summer. đź’ś
