Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
At Royal Family KIDS Camp, each child is treated like Royalty. Every activity and event is designed to provide campers with the opportunity to discover their self-worth, talents and unique abilities. Camp favorites include swimming, fishing, archery, basketball, play time, s’mores, and woodworking. We also have special events each day which are treasured traditions for our campers.
Special RFK Camp Events
The RFK Talent Show!
It’s time to shine! Each child has the opportunity to perform with their cabin at the talent show. Our stars arrive at the talent show and are greeted by their adoring fans seeking their autographs. They are then escorted to their seats until the big show.
Each cabin performs an act which showcases the talents of everyone. Singing, dancing, acrobatics, magic tricks, skits…everyone has a talent to showcase! Every year we are in awe of our amazingly talented kids!!
Let’s celebrate! Some of our campers have never experienced a birthday party of their own. They receive the Royal treatment, when they come to Everybody’s Birthday Party! We begin with a special musical entrance into the dining hall, topped off with cheers and applause from our staff. Then we sing “Happy Birthday” to all the campers for each of the months of the year. Each child is presented with their very own mini cake with their name on it, along with a birthday gift bag filled with goodies. This day is such a special day for our campers!
Everybody’s
Birthday Party!
The Tea Party
Our friends dress up in their royal finery or superhero costumes and are escorted on the arms of our Royal Attendants. Grandma and Grandpa join in the fun, treating our royal princesses and princes to delicious treats and an opportunity to share
their dreams for their bright futures.
The Polar Bear Swim!
Are you ready to brave the icy waters of an early morning jump in the lake? Our polar bears arrive early in the morning and are ready for the challenge. We dump loads of ice into the lake, and then do a countdown as we all jump in! Our brave campers are treated to delicious hot chocolate to warm up and everyone receives their official Polar Bear certificate!
Way to go!
These are just a few of the highlights of camp. The week is filled with moments treasured by our campers. One of our boys expressed it best. As he was walking across the campground, he put his arm around the shoulder of a new camper and said, “Bro, this is the Sweet Life Camp!”.
Meet Our Camp Director
Hello, I'm Lisa Bly...
For the Children Milwaukee Director
My journey began with Royal Family KIDS when I heard someone giving a presentation at my church. I had been asking God to lead me to where He would have me serve, and after the presentation, I just knew I had found the answer! I completed Director’s training in 2006 with three other leaders and our first camp became a reality in 2007!
Each and every time I attend a Royal Family KIDS camp, it reignites my passion for why I began serving. To know that foster children who have experienced so much trauma and loss in their young lives, can come to camp and hear how truly special and loved they are, is one of my life’s greatest blessings. Sometimes the kids arrive on the first day of camp, with expressions of sadness or fear. I have the privilege of seeing the transformation happen throughout the week as the smiles emerge, and they begin to realize how much they are loved and treasured by everyone at camp, and most of all by God. It changes me every time!
What a joy it is to be a part of this family!
My family. My Royal Family.
