There are simply not enough words to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Royal Family KIDS Camp possible.
It truly takes an entire community to create one unforgettable week for children who have experienced so much. Every role mattered. Every prayer mattered. Every donation mattered. Every act of kindness mattered.
To our incredible volunteers, thank you for pouring out your hearts, your time, your energy, and your love. You created a place where children could laugh, heal, play, and simply be kids.
To our faithful board members, thank you for the months of planning, praying, organizing, and leading behind the scenes. Your dedication makes this ministry possible year after year.
To our generous donors, sponsors, churches, businesses, and community members, thank you for believing in these children and investing in a week that will leave a lifelong impact.
To everyone who supported our fundraisers, bought tickets, made donations, volunteered at events, or helped us reach our goals, thank you. Your generosity helped make camp a reality.
To everyone who donated snacks, meals, supplies, clothing, games, crafts, prizes, and countless other items, thank you for meeting needs before we even knew we had them.
To our Registration Team, thank you for helping camp begin with warmth, organization, and smiling faces that welcomed every child and volunteer.
To everyone who helped make Birthday Party Night so magical, thank you for celebrating children who may have never experienced a birthday quite like that before. You helped create memories they’ll never forget.
To our Welcome Home Dinner Team, thank you for preparing a beautiful meal that allowed volunteers to reconnect with their families, reflect on the week, and celebrate all that God had done.
To the families, foster parents, and caregivers who entrusted us with your children, thank you. We know that trust is a precious gift, and we are honored you allowed us to spend this special week with them.
And to every person who prayed before camp, throughout the week, and after the buses returned home, thank you. We believe your prayers covered every child, every volunteer, every conversation, and every moment.
Because of all of you, children who have known hurt experienced joy. Children who have felt forgotten were celebrated. Children who questioned their worth were reminded that they are deeply loved.
This is what happens when a community comes together with one purpose: to change the trajectory of a child’s life.
From all of us at Royal Family KIDS Ithaca, thank you for being part of something so much bigger than yourselves.
Together, we are making a difference… one child at a time. ❤️
