Who Can Attend?
T.R.A.C. Camp is designed for youth who have experienced trauma, loss, family disruption, or other significant challenges during childhood.
Many campers find comfort in being surrounded by peers who share similar experiences. Camp becomes a place where they can relax, have fun, build friendships, and experience a sense of belonging without feeling different or alone.
Campers may have experiences such as:
- Foster care
- Adoption
- Family reunification
- Relative or kinship care
- A parent or caregiver who has been incarcerated
- Court involvement or dependency proceedings
- Other out-of-home placements
- Significant childhood adversity or traumatic experiences
If you are unsure whether T.R.A.C. Camp is a good fit for your youth, we'd love to hear from you — reach out and ask us.
What Campers Can Expect
At T.R.A.C. Camp, youth can expect:
- Caring, trained adult mentors
- A safe and supportive environment
- Opportunities to build trust and healthy relationships
- Fun outdoor activities and new experiences
- Encouragement and positive reinforcement
- A community where they feel seen, valued, and accepted
Our staff and volunteers are trained in Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) and other trauma-informed practices. We strive to create an environment where every camper feels physically, emotionally, and relationally safe.
Our Commitment
We understand that every child's story is unique. Camp is not about focusing on the challenges youth have faced. It is about creating opportunities for connection, growth, joy, and hope.
We look forward to welcoming your child and providing an uplifting, memorable experience where they can have fun, make friends, and discover their strengths.
“Every child deserves the chance to experience belonging, encouragement, and hope for the future.”
