So many of the children who attend our camp have faced heartbreaking realities—abuse, neglect, and abandonment. These experiences often leave deep scars, robbing them of joy, security, and the freedom to simply be children.Our mission is to interpret these cycles of pain by surrounding each child with care, compassion, and the message of God's unfailing love. Through a 3-day Christ-centered camp, we meet children where they are and show them an alternative family of faith—reminding them that they are precious, valued, and heirs to His Kingdom. At camp, they not only experience fun and friendship but also learn what a Godly family looks like, where kindness, patience, and unconditional love are the foundation.
The way we serve children is intentional and deeply personal. Our camp runs during the school holidays to protect their education, and each child is paired with a volunteer counsellor who provides mentorship and encouragement throughout the week. With a 2-to-1 child-to-counsellor ratio and our "Two-Deep Rule" (ensuring at least two adults are always present with a child), we create an environment that is safe, nurturing, and filled with trust.
Here’s what our campers wrote about their camp experience
Camp was the first time I felt like someone truly cared about me. The counsellors showed me that I was worthy of love and that my past doesn't define my future.

Through the activities and love from my counsellor, I discovered that joy and laughter are possible and that healing is real.

My counsellor believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. She taught me that I am strong, capable, and loved by God. Camp changed how I see myself.

For the first time, I felt safe and protected. That experience taught me what a loving family should look like and helped me understand my own worth.

Camp wasn't just fun activities—it was a place where I learned I wasn't alone. The love and care showed me that God's love is real and personal.
Sibusiso
My counsellor was more than a mentor—she believed in my dreams and potential. She showed me that my story can be rewritten with hope and purpose.

Royal Family Kids Camp Mogale is a Christ-centred camp dedicated to children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children can experience care, joy, and the message of God's unfailing love.
Our camp is designed for children in foster care or children's homes who may have faced difficult circumstances. Many of these children have never experienced consistent love, affection, or a sense of belonging, and our camp provides them with a supportive, family-like environment.
During the 5-day school holiday camp, children participate in fun, structured activities such as games, crafts, outdoor adventures, mentorship, and storytelling. Each activity is designed to build self-esteem, foster friendships, and create lasting memories, all while helping children experience God's love.
The camp is staffed with trained volunteer counsellors, and we maintain a 2-to-1 child-to-counsellor ratio. Our "Two-Deep Rule" ensures that two adults are always present with a child, creating a safe environment. Visit our involved page to learn more about volunteering.
Yes. All activities and mentorship at camp are Christ-centred. Children learn about the love of God, what a Godly family looks like, and that they are part of the eternal Royal Family—precious, chosen, loved, and destined for His kingdom.
Royal Family Kids has been operating globally since 1985. We started as a simple camp in the US and quickly grew into a global movement. Children across the country have experienced hope, healing, and restoration through the camps.
There are many ways to make a difference:
Our approach is deeply personal and intentional. We focus on building trust, providing supportive relationships, and creating an environment where children feel valued. For many children, camp is the first time they experience consistent care and attention, and it can profoundly influence their lives and relationships.
Have you volunteered for Royal Family Kids Mogale before?
When and where have you served?
I understand that for the church to carry on a RFK Camp, it has had to agree to abide by certain policies and parameters established by RFK, including strict policies against any form of child abuse, and that violation of these policies may be cause for dismissal. Child abuse is punishable by law, and the church is bound by law to report allegations of abuse or any inappropriate sexual contact to the proper authorities. ALL reporting is kept confidential, by law. All volunteers must commit to immediately report any behavior that seems suspicious, questionable, abusive or inappropriate between: child-to-child, staff-to-child, and staff-to-staff.
If YOU are struggling with a sexual attraction to children, please opt out of service in the church’s RFK Camp or any other child-serving organization and seek help. One option is: “Hope for the Heart” at (800) 488-HOPE (4673) or www.hopefortheheart.org.
I understand that I will be required to submit to a background check as a condition of acceptance as a volunteer, and that unsatisfactory results, refusal to cooperate, or any attempt to affect the results of these background checks will result in me being removed as a volunteer or volunteer applicant.
I hereby certify that all of the information provided by me in this Application (or in any other accompanying or required documents) is correct, accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the falsification, misrepresentation or omission of any facts in these documents may (or will) be cause for the denial of acceptance as a volunteer, or immediate removal as a volunteer, regardless of the timing or circumstances of discovery.
In consideration of the receipt and evaluation of this Application by the sponsoring Church, I hereby authorize you to contact any references, churches, youth groups, schools attended, former and present employers, charities, courts, and any other person, agency, or organization that may have information about me, and for them to provide to you such information (including opinions) that they may have regarding my character and fitness for working with children; I hereby release any such references, churches, youth groups, schools attended, former and present employers, charities, courts, and any other person, agency or organization who may have provided information about me, including record custodians, both collectively and individually, from any and all liability for damages of whatever kind or nature which may at any time result to me, my heirs, or family, on account of compliance or any attempts to comply with this authorization. I also agree to hold RFK, the sponsoring church, RFK Camp Leadership, and any other person to whom the release above applies, harmless from any damages, specifically including attorney fees and court costs, created by or relating to my unwarranted attempt to collect damages for providing information described above or any other unwarranted action by me in connection with this Application. I waive any right that I may have to inspect any information provided about me or by any person or organization identified by me in the Application process.
In addition, I hereby release, and agree that I, my successors, assignees, heirs, guardians and legal representatives will not make any claims or take any legal actions against, RFK or any of its affiliated organizations, or its officers, directors, employees, agents, or volunteers (“Released Parties”), for my injury, death, damage or loss, however caused, arising from or in connection with my participation in RFK activities, with the exception of my injury, death, damage or loss as the direct result of illegal or grossly negligent acts by RFK, and I will hold the Released Parties harmless from any costs or loss, including attorney fees and court costs, arising from or in connection with my activities in violation of these provisions.
I understand that submission of an application does not guarantee me acceptance as a volunteer. I further understand that should the church extend an offer to me as a volunteer, it is for no specific duration and may be revoked by either the sponsoring church, or me at any time, with or without cause.
I understand that none of the documents, policies, procedures, actions, statements of RFK, the sponsoring church, the RFK Leadership or their representatives and agents used during the volunteer application process is deemed an offer for a contract or in fact a contract, real or implied.

All Royal Family Kids Camps are operated as a ministry of a local Sponsoring Church or in conjunction with a local non-profit organization. As such, all volunteers will fall under the authority of the Camp Leadership as trained by the RFK National Office and under the authority and beliefs of the Sponsoring Church. The Sponsoring Church may or may not require membership or attendance of their church, but all volunteers need to understand that church leadership has authority over the operations and expectations of the RFK Camp and the churches beliefs will inevitably be evident in the selection process and operation of the RFK Camp as a ministry of their church.
I have carefully read the above Application and this Acknowledgement and Release and know and understand its contents; I also know the above is legally binding on me. I sign this Application and Release of my own free will.
