Many children in the foster care system have had few positive experiences. Royal Family Kids provides programs that give these children wholesome activities, encouragement, role modeling, and most of all, LOVE. Each donation to RFK helps fund a child to get to camp & experience a positive, life-changing week.
"Camp is where many kids get to be kids for the first time in their young lives. It shows them what family life could be…what it should be".
- Scott Selin
Royal Family Kids Littleton (Denver Metro) transforms communities by interrupting cycles of neglect, abuse, and abandonment of children in the foster care system. We fulfill our mission by providing an array of programs, all directed toward changing the trajectory of young lives which usually include a combination of academic failure, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, sex trafficking, homelessness, and incarceration.
In 1985, Wayne and Diane Tesch, saw a need to provide hope to local foster children in Costa Mesa, California. They created a week-long summer camp held in the mountains in order to create moments that matter for foster children ages 6-12.
After five years of hosting camps through their church, the Tesche's realized the need was in every county in the U.S. Wayne left his role in the local church and incorporated Royal Family Kids Camp as a nationwide organization, and developed a franchise model to scale their programing to other counties.
In 2008 the organization expanded to include a school year mentoring club called "Royal Friends Club" headed by Joanne Feldmeth, the former Executive Director for Child SHARE.
Currently, we work in 44 states, 262 communities, 12 countries serving 10,000 kids annually with nearly 16,000 volunteers.
