Annie's Hope offers Camp Courage, four night/five day overnight experiences, for kids ages 6-11 who are surviving the death of someone significant. The cause of death varies from long term illness, short term illness, suicide, murder, and accidents. The length of time since the death varies as well. Some campers arrive not knowing anyone else while some attend with their siblings. The campers represent families of lower socioeconomic means, as well as middle class families. The common thread that runs through each of them is the death of someone they love.

A week in a camp environment as a cabin counselor or arts and crafts volunteer is hard work. However, you will most definitely return home feeling more energized than when you left. Your time at this camp will not be filled with sadness, depression, and tears but instead by laughter, hope and newly discovered friends. Your mere presence conveys a message to the campers of acceptance and encouragement. That in itself will foster a new understanding that the campers are not alone in their grief, that their grief is OK and survivable, and that there is hope in tomorrow. That is the magic of making a difference in the life of a child who needs your care and support.

The greatest need is for cabin counselors, especially males, yet we definitely need arts and crafts volunteers and nurses. Cabin Counselors are assigned a cabin of campers along with three to four other counselors. They are responsible for those campers 24 hours a day for five days. The counselors accompany the campers to every activity and event. The ratio of Cabin Counselor to camper is 1:3 or 4.

Arts and Crafts volunteers are assigned to the arts and crafts area. There will be 3-4 volunteers in arts and crafts. One of those volunteers will be designated as the Arts & Crafts Coordinator. All the volunteers will work together to plan, host and organize arts and crafts activities, yet the Coordinator will be asked to plan some special activities and communicate with the Camp Director regarding supplies needed. When arts and crafts is “closed” in the evenings, the volunteers will assist cabin counselors. One major difference between the cabin counselor role and the arts and crafts role is the type of relationship you will probably experience with the campers. Cabin counselors will get to know 9-12 campers very well while arts and crafts volunteers will meet almost all the campers but probably not get to know them quite as well.

The camp nurse will administer meds, bandage scraps and cuts, and provide tender loving care when a camper simply needs a hug. The nurse may volunteer for a one week, both weeks, part of one week, or part of both weeks.

Each year, FAFS hosts holiday celebrations for children living in foster families throughout the state of New Jersey. The NJ State PBA holds an annual toy drive for us so each child in attendance can receive a holiday gift. Volunteers are needed to at the toy drive to sort toys by age and gender and help bag and label toys for distribution at our holiday parties.

FAFS’ Holiday Celebrations provide opportunities for foster children to connect with other children who share their experiences and “get it,” and in some cases, reunite with siblings placed in separate foster homes. They also reassure children in foster care, who have been removed from their families due to abuse and neglect, that there is a community who cares for and about them. By helping to sort and bag toys, you are helping to bring holiday joy to children and youth living in foster homes in New Jersey!
