Our Community 

Our Member Camps are the heart of the Camp To Belong community.  CTB’s mission comes alive in our work together.  They develop and nurture partnerships that make camp week possible.

• Our campsites are certified by the American Camp Association (ACA) and are often offered at a reduced cost. Most host campsites have some of their staff manage activities that require trained personnel such as horseback riding, obstacle courses, and swimming.

• Volunteer counselors come from all walks of life, including teachers, social workers, college students, and retirees. Some counselors have experienced foster care and some are former campers. Each volunteer must pass a background check through Verified Volunteers.

• State child welfare agencies and caseworkers in local offices identify sibling groups to attend to camp. Many child welfare agencies also pay a campership stipend that covers part of the cost of attendance. Campers are also referred by foster parents, CASAs, or other adults involved in kids’ lives.
