Under One Sky Camp
Junior Journey Camp Ages 7-12 Gathering together with supportive counselors who are trained in trauma-informed approaches to working with children. For the season of 2021, Camp starts in April and meets one Saturday a month as a day camp ending with a Friendsgiving Celebration in December. Camp will be operating on the beautiful campus of Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, NC. Youth learn coping skills, enjoy nature as a healing tool, experience self-expressive workshops, and make friends who are also in foster/substitute care. Young people leave our program with more confidence, the feeling that they are not alone in their experience, and more preparedness to continue their foster or adoptive path. Journey Camp Ages 12-17 For the season of 2021 Camp starts in April and runs through December with an ending celebration called Friendsgiving. Youth are invited to participate in a day camp experience one Sunday a month with a supportive and dedicated community of counselors, staff, alumni of Journey Camp, and peers who are also in foster/substitute care. Camp will be held on the beautiful campus of Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, NC. While enjoying fun and nature based activities young people will build their confidence, discover activities in which they can express themselves, and prepare for their future path of continued foster care/adoption/reunification/transitioning into adulthood from foster care. Goals through camp include improving peer relations, learning to live in a cooperative community, establishing healthy living habits, and enjoying new experiences, and lighthearted fun. |

Who Do We Serve?
We serve youth in foster care, youth in kinship care, those who have been reunified, those in group homes, and who have been adopted from foster care, ages 7 through 17, throughout North Carolina. Our program supports children who are designated Level I and Level II; children designated Level III will be evaluated for eligibility on an individual basis. Youth are invited to attend regardless if they are on adoption track, or their goal is reunification with their birth family or kinship placement. We will carefully review each youth through our intake process. This process includes an intensive intake questionnaire and sometimes an additional individual meeting with the social worker to help determine if Under One Sky will be able to support the individual youth in the ways needed.
