Royal Family Kids extends Christian love and care, with adults modeling a non-violent, positive way of life as an alternative to many of the negative, abusive situations which children of abuse and neglect have faced. Although each camp counselor and staff member is a committed Christian, the camps do not proselytize, and no religion is every criticized or denigrated. In addition to receiving the attention and encouragement of an adult camp counselor and his/her "buddy camper," each camper is also exposed to a variety of fun activities, designed for their success and to build self esteem. Activities center, games, sports, hiking, swimming and fishing are all part of the program. A single compassionate church in a local area is responsible for each Royal Family KIDS Camp. These churches are well established and respected in the community. Additionally, several strict and important measures are taken to ensure the camps are safe for the children. Camp administrators and counselors go through intensive training, including a study of the dynamics of child abuse and neglect, using recognized professionals in the field as faculty. There is also an intensive screening process for counselors and staff. Two children - and only two - are assigned to each camp counselor. In addition there is generally a "back-up" staff person for each counselor, so the actual staff-to-camper ratio is often one to one. The camp site itself has been selected to provide a safe, fun place for the camp experience.
