about us

RFKC has a camper / counselor ratio of 2:1 with at least 30 additional support staff. Activities are purposefully designed to be non-competitive and non-threatening while allowing children to experience success.

sponsoring organizations

RFKC is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that provides its services without charge.  Royal Family Kids Camp of Des Moines IA depends solely on donations and the generosity of people like you.  The cost of hosting the one-week camp each summer is approximately $30,000.  Your participation as a sponsor can help make a big difference in a child's life. We are currently looking for area churches and individuals to join us in this effort of reaching God's children that have been affected by abuse, neglect and or abandonment.                                Pay It Forward Des Moines IA Inc. is our 501(c) 3 fiscal agent.

Story of the Week

  • What is in Your Hand?
  • Camp starts out pretty much one sided. The children arrive needy. Counselors and staff are there to give the much needed time and attention. Food is plentiful and there is no shortage of activities.
