Camp Counselors
As a camp counselor, you are the heartbeat of Royal Family KIDS Camp, serving as a dedicated mentor to two campers throughout the week. Your role is vital, as you embody the hands and feet of Jesus, meeting each child’s needs during camp.
You’ll be responsible for having fun with your campers, keeping track of them, ensuring their well-being, and fostering trust through your time and care. As relationships grow, you may have the opportunity to lead devotionals, pray with your campers, and answer their questions about God.
This role is open to adults (18+) of all ages, and men are especially needed to provide positive role models for our campers. If you have a heart for serving children, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

Activities Coordinator
We’re seeking a dedicated individual with a heart for planning engaging and process-focused activities for our campers. As Activity Center Coordinator, you’ll help design 20–25 creative activities that emphasize “process not product.” From organizing craft projects and stocking books for the reading area to setting up puzzles and games, you’ll play a key role in creating a lively, enriching environment for these foster children. Your efforts will help keep campers entertained, engaged, and uplifted throughout their camp experience.

Music / Worship Dance Leader
If God has blessed you with dance or stage talent, this is your chance to use it to make a lasting impact at camp. As Music/Worship Dance Leader, you’ll lead worship dance throughout the week, guiding both foster children and volunteers in singing praises. You’ll receive the camp music in advance to prepare, teach movements to counselors and staff, and set the tone for an inspiring week. From the best seat in the house, you’ll witness the family of Christ joyfully praising together.
