Summer Camp for Linwood who can't wait to reunite with his siblings

Posted Mar 10, 2022
Linwood loves to spend time goofing off with his siblings. Foster care has meant separation, and he stays in touch with them online or on the phone - but now this wish will help bring them together in person! This wish will provide a full week of sleepaway summer camp in Maine for Linwood, where he'll be reunited with his siblings. Together, they'll get to do all the fun camp things like swimming and boating, talent show nights, marshmallow roasting, and swapping stories in Parent-style esque camp cabins.

Linwood is 16 years old and lives in ME

Linwood is the youngest of a sibling group, and he has been living in a separate foster home from his siblings, through no fault of his own. He loves goofing off outside with his siblings, and stays in touch with them on the phone through the changes in schools and homes. He is not able to see his brothers for more than brief visits other than at Camp To Belong.

"Linwood I hope you have a great time at camp this summer with your siblings and your friends! I’m very excited for you to go to camp and take part in all the fun activities and spend time with your siblings. At night when the camp is quiet and everyone is in bed, be sure to listen for the beautiful sound of the crickets!"
