A Week of Sleep Away Camp for Gino with his sister

Posted Mar 10, 2022
Gino is always telling his caseworker his wish - to see his sister. They live in separate homes while in foster care, and this wish will make it possible for him to go to a one week of a sleepaway camp program that reunites siblings in foster care, Camp To Belong Maine. This experience will include cabin fun, swimming and other camp activities, camp songs and plentiful food - including marshmallows!

Gino is 14 years old and lives in ME

Above all else, Gino is a supportive brother to his sister, even thought they are placed in separate foster homes. He talks about her all the time, but due to how far apart they are in their placements, he isn't able to see her that often.

"Thank you so much for your generous gift towards Gino's camp week with his siblings at Camp To Belong this summer! We are starting to make welcome calls to campers this month and look forward to reuniting siblings who have been separated while in foster care for an entire week in August. Doubtless that the shared memory building will last long after this summer, thanks to your gift."
