A 13 year old youth who has no family options, is getting to move into a potential adoptive home. The youth needs help getting into a camp over the summer. His new placement works during the day and he is unable to leave him home alone. Since he is 13 years old, it has been difficult to find camps for his age group, while the foster parent is at work. The youth loves science and the Innovation Camp in Colorado springs, offers a new topic each week. One week of camp costs $275, there are 9 weeks total but to be able to get the youth into as many weeks as possible, would be amazing benefit to help him continue to grow and learn. If this need is not met, the potential adoptive home will struggle to find him care while they are at work during the summer and it will add stress into their home life.
