New Camp Volunteer Application

Welcome to the amazing world of Royal Family KIDS Anchorage! Our parent company, For The Children (previously RFK Inc.), is an international organization started in 1985, which provides a loving, week-long camping experience for children who are part of the foster care system. RFK Anchorage is operated with an all-volunteer staff serving over 10,000 volunteer hours each year.
We Need You!

This is where you may come in. Listed below are opportunities to serve these children. RFK needs a tremendous number of volunteers to accommodate the needs of these children. At RFK, we call our camp counselors "Cousins" to keep with the family theme. Each Cousin is paired with another Cousin, and together, they are responsible for four children. This creates their family pod. There are many other roles: 2nd Cousins (assistant counselors), activity center staff, lakefront staff, logistics team, photography team, Dean of Men and Women, plus many, many other options. There are more details about these roles on our website under the "Get Involved" tab: https://www.royalfamilykidsanchorage.org/volunteer/

Consider your week of Royal Family KIDS Anchorage as a "mission trip," but you're not boarding a plane. You will go through a training process, you will enter an unfamiliar culture, and return home to family and friends after you're done. You will experience a flood of emotions and develop wonderful relationships with children and fellow volunteers. It truly is a life changing experience for both the children and volunteers like you.
