Sibling reunification camp for Gaje who works hard to be the best big brother

Posted Mar 10, 2022
Gaje was separated from his siblings when they were taken into foster care. Camp To Belong is a one week program that will reunite Gaje with his brother and sister for fun nights of sharing cabin stories, roasting s'mores, swimming and fishing together, archery, and a rock wall. 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 Gaje this summer, who is anxious about his brothers drifting apart as he gets older. Camp will engage Gaje 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.

Gaje is 21 years old and lives in ME

Gaje is a strong and attentive older sibling who's separated from his younger brother and sister as a result of geographically diverse foster care placements. He is looking forward to his birthday and getting his license someday soon! He also spends a lot of time working hard in school, so that he can be a role model to his younger siblings.
