Organizations

Two key non-profit organizations are associated with RFK Camp #289. These two entities provide skilled guidance and operational support for RFK programs. Both of these organizations have their own governance and they are distinct and independent legal entities.

For The Children (FTC) is the national organization that trains camp directors and manages Royal Family KIDS camps in the US and internationally. They provide staff training and operational standards for RFK camps nationwide. Think of FTC as a franchiser, and RFK Camp #289 is one of their franchisees. This arrangement ensures the quality of the FTC leadership, safety, and curriculum standards are consistently maintained for RFK Camps nationwide.


For The Children, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity, operating in Orange County, California since 1994 and registered with the Internal Revenue Service. See Guidestar for more details about FTC.  

North Haven Ministries (NHM) meets people at their point of need. Whether its food, health concerns, or the need for a safe place, they work to meet those needs with compassion.  RFK Camp #289 is one of numerous compassionate ministries operated by NHM. They provide operational support, accounting services, financial and donor management and oversight, insurance, and other services to ensure our camps are successful.  Financial gifts to support RFK Camp #289 are processed through NHM.


North Haven Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit religious, charitable and educational organizational, operating in Wake County, North Carolina since 2015 and registered with the Internal Revenue Service.
