Camp Family 4 Life

Camp Family 4 Life experience currently takes place at First Lutheran Church in San Marcos, Texas, under the supervision of the camp director, a professional Care Team and trained, volunteer buddies who are paired with individual campers. The campers' days are filled with fun-filled activities enabling siblings to try new things and get reacquainted with one another through activities like Arts and Crafts, Bowling, and Teambuilding. Over the course of the two-day experience, campers are matched with a volunteer buddy that can provide the support and encouragement that they may need to have a positive experience at camp.

How far would you walk to see your brother or sister? The sibling relationship is the longest relationship we will ever have. One that will outlast our friends and our parents. Fighting for the front seat, staying up all night, a secret language are just a few of the things that siblings separated by foster care and adoption will miss and things that some of us take for granted.

Each particpant will put a team together or join one of the Family 4 Life teams and help reach the Team goal of a minimum of $500.00 in sponsorships to be able to participate. Money can be raised by soliciting cash donations from businesses, family and friends.  All monies are to be reported, documented and turned in to Team Captains. Our goal is to cover over 200 miles collectively to symbolize the average distance that some siblings are separated.

All participants will recieve a Walk T-Shirt, Family 4 Life Bandana and a swag bag with gifts and snacks!
