Last Saturday, you could feel Camp Roots + Wings coming to life — one conversation, one reunion, and one excited camper at a time.
Together with our incredible partner Sylvaneers, we hosted an Open House for Camp Roots + Wings — a 4-day/3-night summer camp experience for youth in foster and kinship care, happening July 19–22.
While enjoying lawn games, crafts, snacks, and bubbles, former campers and future potential campers had the chance to meet this year's cast of amazing counselors, explore what camp will look like, ask questions, and start imagining themselves there. Caregivers had time to connect with the camp directors, learn more about the experience, and determine whether Camp Roots + Wings is the right fit for their child(ren).
And the best part? You could feel the excitement building.
Kids who came in unsure left feeling more comfortable, confident, and excited about heading to camp next month. Friends from last summer reconnected and immediately started reminiscing about their favorite camp memories — the meals, the laughter, the cannonballs into the pool, and all the little moments that made camp feel special.
We are so grateful to Sylvaneers for helping create a space where children and caregivers can feel prepared, welcomed, and excited for what is ahead.
