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 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. Siblings are often taken for granted. Yet, the sibling relationship can be our longest relationship in life.

Our primary goal is to provide a sense of belonging to youth as individuals, and as siblings, giving them opportunities to share childhood memories together and among other youth in the same 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 Program provides intentional programming designed to strengthen sibling connection through our Signature Programs, including the Art Therapy, Sibling Enhancement, Life Seminar and Mentoring Programs, and the Birthday Party Event.

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 it is estimated that 75% of those with siblings are separated from at least one sibling.

CTB has received national and international recognition thanks to 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.
