RFKC.

RFKC: Royal Family Kids Camp is an organization that has been changing children’s lives for over 20 years. This year alone over 6,586 campers were able to attend a camp in their area and there are over 164 camps nationwide. The Mission of RFKC is to Create positive memories for abused and neglected children ages 7-11, in a one-week camp experience. If you would like more information about this organization please visit (www.rfkc.org) or feel free to ask us about our service with them.

This year specifically we can look back at the way that the relationships we have developed with the children and staff last year have left lasting positive memories in their hearts. When the children first show up at the beautiful camp nestled in the gorgeous Southern Oregon wilderness the first thing they see is over twenty smiling faces and open arms ready to develop healthy relationships and memories for a week of fun and adventure. Paul has been working with RFKC for over 7 years now and it has left a great burden on his heart to reach out to the abandoned, abused and rejected in our community. The past three years working at RFKC Southern Oregon Paul has had the privilege of volunteering as the dean of men and the “coach.” These two positions end up being on opposite ends of the spectrum but are crucial to the camp’s success. Last year, 2008, was Hannah’s first year working with RFKC as “nurse Hannah” but she has returned this year as the drama coordinator and a fireball of joy and love for these hurting children. Together we believe that the Lord has used our hearts, time and words to etch loving memories in the lives of the awesome yet hurting children who attended.
