Royal Family Kids' Camps, Inc. (RFKC) is a network of camps, children's clubs, and child mentoring for abused, abandoned, and neglected children in the foster care system. RFK was founded in 1985 by Wayne and Diane Tesch.[1] This ministry offers training and resources for local churches to sponsor a five-day summer camp for the children in foster care, ages 6 – 12.[2]
In addition to the structured schedule, the summer camp maintains a ratio of one volunteer counselor for every two children. Including all volunteers in addition to counselors, there are more adults at the camps than children.[3] Adult role models encourage positive experiences through a plethora of activities, including swimming, fishing, boating, jewelry-making, and woodworking. The highlight of the summer camp is the giant birthday party with cake and gifts for all campers.[4] The group operates 159 camps in the United States and around the world, and has about 6,000 adult volunteers.[4]
