Are you aware of the Royal Family Kids Camp? If not, it is something of interest to this area. The 5th Judicial District is comprised of Pope, Johnson, and Franklin Counties. Pope County has been hosting the Royal Family Kids Camp for many years. Johnson County began last year and the 2nd season is approaching quickly.The camp will host children that are currently, or have been, in the foster care system in the 5th Judicial District. These children have been abused and neglected and faced horrible situations that children should not have to experience. These children may be in foster homes, shelters, or behavioral facilities. The camp staff consists of a Chaplain, Coordinators, Team Leaders, Teens in Training, Nurses, Therapist, and volunteer "grandma's, grandpa's, aunts, and uncles" that are there to give lots of hugs, boost confidence, and there to help the children deal with their situations.The camp is Christian based and is funded by area churches, grants, and organizations. Hedgeway Church in Clarksville, is the sponsoring church for the Johnson County Camp. Last year, there were about 12 other churches that sent money, volunteers, prayer partners, and staffing for the camp. The camp is held the Johnson County area. It was such a wonderful experience for all!There were 12 boys and 12 girls that attended last year. I had the pleasure of participating. The Clarksville Junior Auxiliary sponsored a birthday party for each child with their own special cake. It was so exciting to watch children that had never been given a birthday party or a birthday cake be honored with the surprise. I saw some children that dug right in, hands and all, and some that were hesitant because the emotion was so overwhelming to have a birthday cake. They did not know how to react.At the camp, each day was fun filled with arts and crafts, rodeo's, tea parties, and learning about God's grace. So many different organizations assisted the staff by sponsoring each event. The Bikers Against Child Abuse sponsored the Girl's Tea Party and each girl was escorted in her formal wear down the aisle with either a police officer or a soldier in uniform. So much laughter and tears with girls in heels and tiaras being treated like royalty. Other area churches, The Call, local high school sports teams, and so many other volunteers helped to make this a special event.If you live in, or plan to relocate to, the 5th District and want to put your volunteer efforts or donations to good use, then consider the Royal Family Kids Camp. The camp will be the this summer and the goal is to host 36 children, ages 6-12. If you do not live in this area, it is a national camp and they are located throughout various regions. Just find one in your area to learn more details.So many great things in my community that I'm proud to be a part of!
