-One of the last things Lindy Nelson did before he retired after 29 years of service with Marshfield Clinic Health System was to nominate the Royal Family KIDS’ Camp for Security Health Plan’s monthly Employee-Driven Corporate Giving campaign.This month, Security will invest $1,000 in the national, all-volunteer not-for-profit that serves children ages 6-11 who are, or have been, part of the foster care system. County social workers refer children who experienced abuse, neglect or abandonment. The camps prepare its volunteer workers with extensive training tailored to the children’s needs. Campers are paired with at least two adults and three other campers during their week, offering them a high staff-to-camper ratio that reinforces the training all campers receive on safe and respectful interactions, and giving them an opportunity to both make friends and develop positive, trusting relationships with adults.
The camp is free ??" all funds are donated or raised for the camp and staff members are volunteers. This year, the area camp’s sixth year, funding supported over 40 campers. Many of the 50 staff members not only volunteer, but use their vacation time to do it.
