Summer camp can bring kids together

Living in foster care can be pretty lonely for a 14-year-old girl who sees her friends going home to their families in the evening.

The teen is described by those around her as a friendly girl who would benefit greatly from peer interaction and activities in a camp setting with her sister.

Summer camp brings together children from all different backgrounds. It creates new friendships and lifelong memories.
