About Royal Family Kids

Royal Family Kids, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is the nation’s leading network of camps for abused, neglected and abandoned children. By mobilizing local churches to sponsor a one-week camp for abused and neglected children, ages 7-11 in their local community, RFK gets caring adults involved in the lives of children who need them most. Each camp has two very simple goals: make positive childhood memories for the kids and let them experience unconditional love from an adult. Many volunteers who go to camp are inspired to become mentors, become foster parents and even adopt children who need a loving, caring family. The RFK Camps were founded by Wayne and Diane Tesch in 1988. For more information, please visit their website  http://RoyalFamilyKids.org
