Royal Family KIDS Camp was established 40 years ago in California. It is part of a network comprising over 200 foster kids camps across the nation and globally. Established 5 years ago, our Maui chapter is dedicated to providing transformative experiences for children in foster care. Please hit the About Us page for more details.

This year, in 2026, we will be running our 6th annual camp. Location is undisclosed for the safety and security of the children.

For foster and adopted children ages 6–11, as well as children currently under in-home supervision by Child Welfare Services on Maui.

We also welcome children from neighboring islands, provided they have completed the protocols with their CWS Section. This also includes an authorized chaperone to travel with them and be available on Maui for emergencies.

Because of the generous donations of our community partners, this camp is offered FREE of charge to qualified keiki.

The camp is held annually during the third week of July. This year, it will take place from July 15-19, 2026. For the safety and security of the children, the campground location is undisclosed. As a caregiver, you will receive detailed drop-off and pick-up information closer to the camp date.

The children come together to enjoy 5 days of fun-filled activities: non-competitive games, water slides, a bounce castle, a talent show, arts & crafts, relationship-building activities, Bible stories, and a special "It's Everyone's Birthday" celebration.

Every aspect of the camp is meticulously designed to cultivate a therapeutic atmosphere, supported by compassionate adults. Our program aims to provide a blend of enjoyment, normalcy, and hope for every child.

We completely understand. The camp has been sanctioned by Child Welfare Services of Hawaii. Every volunteer undergoes a comprehensive background check and must complete a mandatory 12-hour trauma-response training. We prioritize a counselor-to-camper ratio of 1:2, ensuring individualized attention and care for each child.

In addition, our campground is a private, exclusive venue with access restricted to approved volunteers, caseworkers, and caregivers. This controlled setting provides a safe, secure environment where everyone can focus on creating meaningful, positive experiences for the children in our care.
