In 2017 we had the privilege to plant our very first Royal Family Kids camp in the Klein Karoo. Since then, we have already hosted three very successful camps in the Ladsimith area, where the lives of 74 children attending these camps were completely touched and transformed through this program.  These are children that are severely traumatized because of molestation, abuse, and neglect. Through the programs that are hosted by RFK, the child’s self-esteem is promoted, and his/her human dignity is restored to where he/she can return to simply being a child.  Due to these children’s circumstances, it feels as if they no longer have purpose and meaning. Dignity is restored through the individual attention and loves that these precious children receive at camp.  Many of these children come from foster care homes or are just part of the system, and not much happens after camp. We have asked ourselves many times: “Do five days make a difference in a child’s life?” But it simply isn’t enough. The community needs more than just transformational camps. The children within the community need ongoing programs and long-term solutions.
