Read on to learn what makes this camp so special and how you can help make an impact by becoming a paid staff member.
Camp APAC offers a unique opportunity for children who have been adopted

Camp APAC (Alabama Pre/Post Adoption Connections) is a collaborative program of Childrenโs Aid Society of Alabama and Alabama DHR designed specifically for adopted children and their siblings ages 9 to 18.
Each summer, campers attend Camp Lee in Anniston, Alabama for a fun-filled week of activities.
But whatโs most special about this camp is that all campers are provided a positive and supportive environment where they can meet other kids who have been through foster care and adoption.

Meet a former camper of Camp APAC

Andrea Montgomery and her brother were placed in foster care when she was just a month old.
At age 12, a counselor from Childrenโs Aid Society of Alabama encouraged Andrea to attend Camp APAC, and she couldnโt be more grateful for the opportunity.
โBefore attending camp, I felt no one could understand what I was going through. Camp APAC helped lift my spirits.
During my first time at camp, I met a girl who had gone through some of the same things as me. It was one of the first times I understood others were facing some of the same challenges as me.โ
Andrea Montgomery, staff member, Camp APAC

Andrea continued to attend Camp APAC each summer until the age of 18.
Not wanting her time at camp to end, she became a staff member and has returned to Camp APAC every summer for the last 10 years.
โItโs so rewarding. I know how important it is to have someone to look up to.
Itโs important for kids to know there are others out there who may be experiencing the same thing they are.โ
