Other Out-of-Home Care. . .
ABOUT US
Camp To Belong of Georgia is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
reuniting brothers and sisters placed in separate foster, adoptive
or kinship homes through Summer Camp Programs and year-round events.
Siblings in care may not have the opportunity to read bedtime stories
together at night, have breakfast together, cheer for each other at
school functions
or share precious holidays – all the things that typical siblings get
to do each day. Though we often take siblings for granted, the
sibling relationship is typically our longest relationship in life,
and at Camp To Belong Georgia, we strive to provide opportunities to
nurture these relationships and forge lasting bonds.
Our primary goal is to provide a sense of belonging to youth in care,
allowing them to express themselves as individuals and as siblings
and giving them opportunities to share childhood
memories
together and among other youth in similar situations.
Our flagship events are our Summer Camp
Programs, during which we reunite brothers and sisters in a safe, neutral,
week-long camp environment to create childhood memories together that
they would not have otherwise due to living in separate homes.
Signature Programs
Each Summer Camp provides intentional programming designed to
strengthen sibling connection. Our Signature Programs include Art
activities, Sibling Enhancement, Life Seminar and Mentoring Programs as
well as the Birthday Party Event.
Meet Our Board
Camp To Belong Georgia is led by a working board of nine volunteers. We are currently
seeking additional board members with a heart for separated siblings and a
desire to serve others.
WHY GEORGIA?
Camp To Belong Georgia is an affiliate of the national organization, Camp To Belong (CTB). Camp To Belong has been actively reuniting brothers and sisters through camp programs and reunions since 1995.
There are over 15,000 youth in foster care in the state of Georgia.
Thirty percent of those children have been in foster care more than
24 months, and an estimated 75% of those with siblings are
separated from at least one of their brothers and sisters.
CTB has received national and international recognition thanks to founder
Lynn Price, whose childhood experience in foster care inspired her
as an
adult to found the organization. Her personal story, passion and commitment
to reuniting siblings separated by foster care has inspired seven other
states to create affiliate camp sites. She is an amazing woman with
an amazing story and has touched the lives of over 2,500 youth with
her camps.
