For the Children Tuscaloosa is proud to be part of For the Children, a national organization dedicated to transforming the lives of children who have experienced relational trauma. The local chapter is sponsored by Valley View Baptist Church, whose support enables them to provide high-quality care and impactful programs to the children in our community.

Opportunities for Valley View to serve:

• Camp: This is one of the flagship programs under For the Children. These camps are designed to offer a week-long, immersive experience for children in foster care, typically ages 6 to 11. Royal Family Kids Camp is a week full of activities such as fishing, swimming, arts and crafts, along with Bible stories, drama, and singing!

• Mentoring: Royal Family Kids Mentoring program extends the impact of camp by providing ongoing, group mentoring relationships. Children are paired with trained mentors and participate in monthly group mentoring sessions. This program focuses on skills mastery, character building, and providing consistent, dependable relationships with safe adults.
