HI! We are working with a sibling group of 3 kids placed with their aunt and uncle. They have been in and out of DHS custody throughout their lives. The request is for the eldest 11 yr old daughter. She has continually filled the void left by her absent and overwhelmed mother. She has taken on the adult roles and responsibilities, particularly emotional & practical caretaking, for her siblings, and parents before she was developmentally ready. She has had little opportunity to be a child. She is extremely strong & courageous. She is very intelligent, energetic, creative and kind. The request is for $400.00 to pay for her to attend camp. It is an overnight summer camp in the Arbuckle Mountains of Southern Oklahoma. Campers ages 7-16. This camp provides adventure, learning, growth and fun! Variety of activities include Hiking, Rock climbing, Swimming, Paddle boarding, Kayaking & canoeing, Archery, Recreational games, Campfire ceremonies, and Horseback riding. Gaining skills and confidence to propel her forward in life, exploring her potential and building confidence. It will be a journey of personal growth while creating unforgettable memories and friendships. The Summer 2025 Overnight Camp is $950. for a One-Week Session in July 2025. DHS applied for financial assistance, and we hope to get everything covered except the $300. We would love if you could help!
