Sibling Reunification Camp for Herlin who works hard to be the best big brother

Posted Jul 23, 2019
Herlin was separated from his siblings when they were taken into foster care. Camp To Belong is a one week program that will reunite Herlin with his brothers for fun nights of sharing cabin stories, roasting s'mores, swimming and fishing together, archery, a rock wall, etc. Campers are treated to dance parties, talent night, and a full scale carnival right at the camp. All campers are sibling sets who have been separated while in foster care, who understand and support each other. Camp To Belong will be particularly important for Herlin this summer, who is anxious about his brothers drifting apart as he gets older. Camp will engage Herlin and his siblings in making pillows that they will exchange and take with them to help each other remember one another after camp. They will also take make scrapbooks of their camp week and attend a life seminar that includes ways to stay in touch and support each other after camp, even while in foster care.

Herlin is 18 years old and lives in ME

Herlin is a young man who was separated from his siblings as a result of coming into foster care. He has managed to maintain a good outlook and part of that is because of upcoming participation in a program that will reunite him with his siblings for a week of sleep-away camp together!
