In California, there are 54,302 children who have siblings in foster care. Only about 1/3 are placed with some of their siblings and over 6,000 are separated from all their siblings. Camp Connect California provides an opportunity for siblings separated by out-of-home care to reconnect for a unique camping experience where lifetime memories are created.
