In 1996, when a camp for adopted children was being proposed, a young child heard about the idea and was so thrilled that he might be able to attend camp said, "Really, a camp? For Me?" Now his dream is a reality!
Camp ForMe is a day camp for children ages 7 - 12 who have been adopted, including children with special needs. Campers who are interested may work their way up through "the ranks" when they reach age 13 in our Leaders in Training and Junior Counselor Programs - and, eventually, become Counselors. Last summer we had 12 counselors who had participated in Camp for several years prior to joining our staff.
Camp ForMe, in its 14th year, will be held at the Green Mountain Valley School in Fayston, Vermont. In 2009, the first session will be held June 22 - June 26; the second session will be held July 6 - July 10.
Our goal of the camp is to have it accessible to all who wish to attend, regardless of ability to pay. We gladly welcome gifts in support of this important program! To make a donation or for more information, please contact Alice Siegriest.
