Camp for Alaina who is looking forward to seeing her siblings

Posted Mar 10, 2022
Alaina was separated from her siblings when they were taken into foster care. Camp To Belong is a one week program that will reunite Alaina with her sibs 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 To Belong will engage Alaina and her siblings in making pillows and quilts that they will exchange and take with them to help each other remember one another after camp, and supports siblings in a birthday party where they can celebrate missed milestones.

Alaina is 16 years old and lives in ME

Alaina is a supportive sister to a sibling she was placed in a separate foster home from. She talks about her sibling throughout the year but due to geographic proximity she isn't able to see him often.
