Starfish Alliance reaches out to those children who are forgotten by society - the abused and neglected. It has been an honor to work with an organization that cares deeply for these children. Camp for 2010 will be starting in a couple of days and I can not wait to join the other volunteers who will do their best to create "positive memories" for these children to remember throughout their lives.

It it an awesome organization that helps provide a week of positive memories for children in the foster care system. These kids come from backgrounds I can't even fathom. I feel very fortunate to be able to give of myself to these kids for one week out of a year. I have been working with Royal Family Kids Camp for 6 years.

This organization is to finance Royal Family Kid's Camp, for abused and neglected children in Franklin County. I have volunteered every year since 2002. It is such a joy to see the kids having the time of their lives and just having fun. Reaching one child at a time and seeing changes in their lives for GOOD. What else can top that??

RFKC is a wonderful place for these kids from Franklin Children's Services to spend a fun week and be able to forget what they may have been through in the real world. They see the LOVE of Jesus through those that volunteer.

The Starfish Alliance is a wonderful organization that helps support Royal Family Kids' Camp. This is a one week camp that brings abused children from Franklin County Children's Services for a week of fun and love. This volunteer run camp is all about helping the campers enjoy fun activities. Some activities that the children are involved in are wood working, crafts, dress up, painting, basketball, swimming, and best of all an all day birthday party. This is my nineth year to be involved with this organization and I truly look forward to helping out each summer.

I was introduced to Starfish Alliance via Royal Family Kids Camp in 2006 when I volunteered for my first summer. I planned to work two evenings at camp after working all day. Once I arrived at camp I realized this was no normal summer camp. This was a camp totally focused on giving abused kids Hope, Hope for a Better Future. I ended up going every night after that until midnight each night after working all day. I felt like I didn't want to miss the excitement, the love being shown to the kids and the amazing activities planned each time I was there. The next year I volunteered to create the training materials and train all of the volunteers for that year. I am "Hooked" on camp and Starfish Alliance is the organization that gets the volunteers and the funding for each child and each volunteer to Go To Camp each Summer. Please consider checking out this Wonderful Camp and also Give As Much As You Can so More Kids can attend each year. I Hope you get "Hooked" on Camp Like I am!

I've been helping with the Starfish Alliance through its summer camp as a counselor / fundraiser for the past five years. This program has been such a tremendous blessing to the children involved. We hold a one week camp experience for emotionally, sexually, and physically abused children. The camp begins with a crowd of counselors and co-counselors who cheer for the incoming buses of children. The whole week is geared towards the kids having fun and forgetting about their current circumstances. We have a bunch of activities such as rock wall climbing, games, swimming, hiking, and even a birthday party. In the past we have brought in magicians, ventriloquists, and clowns to entertain the kids. We also have a Sunshine Shop where kids can "shop" by picking out free clothes and shoes to wear. The entire week is wrapped up when each kid gets to play with all of their donated birthday presents! It's an incredible experience for the kids as well as for the tired staff!

The all-volunteer-led and -operated Starfish Alliance is selfless in its commitment to serve Franklin County's abused and neglected children. The organization strives to meet the unique needs of children through education, advocacy, and specialized programs, such as summer camp and mentorships.

This is a group of people sacrificing their time to better the lives of some of the most hopeless kids in our society. It is the most impactful thing I've ever done / seen.

They are a great group of volunteers to be around, and are doing it all for the kids. Starfish Alliance supports the Royal Family Kids Camp, which touches the hearts of abused and neglected children through a summer camp. When I heard of this organization, I knew I had to help out for this great cause, and I'm glad I did.

Starfish Alliance supports Royal Family Kids Camp. This is a camp for abused and neglected children. I have been doing camp for 5 years and it is the most rewarding week of my life. I love being with the kids and showing them how much God loves them. I love camp and look forward to it all year long!!!
