About Us

Our Mission

Royal Family Kids Knoxville exists to create life-changing moments for children in foster care in our community. Founded in 2023, we were formed to help launch the first Royal Family KIDS Camp in Knoxville, providing foster youth with a safe, joy-filled experience where they are seen, celebrated, and reminded of their worth. Our organization helps fund, manage, and support these camps while raising awareness for this vital local mission.

Royal Family Kids Knoxville is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit. No staff members receive income or compensation—every dollar donated goes directly toward camps, events, and outreach that serve foster children and families. We are committed to stewarding each gift with integrity and purpose.

Our ultimate goal is to support enough Royal Family KIDS Camps to serve every foster child of camp age in Knoxville, surrounding them with consistent love, encouragement, and hope.
