Camp To Belong for Matt to spend time with his siblings

Posted Mar 10, 2022
Help us reunite Matt with his siblings! Matt was separated from his siblings when they were taken into foster care. Knowing how much Matt and his siblings miss each other and how much they enjoyed summer camp together last summer, we look forward to reuniting them again at Camp To Belong Maine 2022. Camp To Belong is a one week program that will reunite Matt with his siblings for 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 will engage Matt 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.

Matt is 15 years old and lives in ME

Matthew is a supportive brother to a sibling he was placed in a separate foster home from. He talks about his sibling throughout the year but due to geographic proximity he isn't able to see her often.
