Camp application requirements for 2026 camp season:

1. Camper acceptance will be for ages 6-12. There are no exceptions to this age limit.

2. Camp applicants who are currently in foster care or who are in a monitored intact family unit (with a caseworker assigned to the case) are eligible for camp. Previous Peoria RFK campers, who have been adopted since camp 2025, and adoptees who have never been to our camp are encouraged to apply but not guaranteed admission to camp. Biological children of foster families will not be accepted.

3. Applicants who plan to attend more than one Royal Family Kids Camp in the summer of 2026 will be considered if there is space available. Campers who meet the above criteria will have precedence over campers who attend more than one RFK camp.

4. The number of children accepted to camp is based on the number of volunteers and donations/funding. We will begin a ‘waitlist’ once we have reached capacity of one, or both, of these resources.
