(USA)–And, summer camping is far from the mind’s of most people right now, but now is the time to prepare for it. Royal Family Kids Camp’s founder Wayne Tesch is doing just that. Royal Family reaches out to abused and neglected children. Tesch says the camping season will be busy this year. “We’ll have 104 camps going on this summer in the United States. We’ll be in 36 different states. We’ll have over 4,500 campers, along with over 4,000 adults who will be taking a vacation with purpose to minister effectively to abused children.” There are more than three-million abused children in the United States and Royal Family is looking for churches to host more camps. “We’re looking for people who will be willing to give a week of their time to help abused children in their own communities. We’re thrilled to be able to help the local church identify the need of child abuse and to be able to make a difference in their own community.”
