Understanding. Empowering.), where we will welcome over 30 children to this exciting, interactive, day-camp. Camp BLUE was developed to further support current Alliance For Children kids who have recently completed or almost completed their counseling journey, to enjoy the simplicities of childhood. The week is full of fun adventures that they otherwise may not have had an opportunity to experience. Through field trips, interactive games, and dynamic presentations, children expand their worldview and are given tools that promote positive well-being and self-esteem. Past camps have included visits from area police and firefighters, participation in team building activities, yoga sessions, arts and crafts, and fieldtrips to places like iFly, local aquariums, and adventure parks. Like all of our services, the events and activities provided at Camp BLUE are free to our families thanks to the generosity of the community. Want to send a child to a week of fun?
