“Under 1 Sky” Camp Program
The “Under 1 Sky” camp program is focused on providing year round camp and mentorship opportunities for any child who has experienced or is currently in substitute care. For many children who experience an out of home placement, traditional camp can be either overwhelming or not possible due to placement moves and missing enrollment deadlines. Our Under 1 Sky program cultivates and supports enduring connections for youth through camps and self-discovery programming. Our vision is that ALL youth are seen, heard, and valued in North Carolina.
2023 Season
We are excited for the upcoming camp season! This year we will be utilizing the beautiful Camp Tekoa property for many of our camp dates, providing ample opportunities for campers to enjoy the beauty that North Carolina has to offer.
