INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — It's an iconic week at summer camp full of pool time, campfires, and a carnival.

But it's not for just anyone.

Camp to Belong is for siblings in the foster care system who live in different homes. The idea is to strengthen sibling bonds across households.

"Sibling relationships, we know, are actually some of the longest relationships we are going to have in our lifetime," Leah Edge, co-director of Camp to Belong Indiana, said. "So for kids in foster care to be able to have those relationships that are going to be a support for them later in life, is pretty critical to their mental well-being, to their health, their success."

The campers will spend the week bonding through different activities.

"A birthday party so they can celebrate their birthdays together, they're going to make pillows for each other, they're going to have scrapbooks filled with pictures that we've taken of them throughout the week that they can take home with them, and a couple other really fun things just for them," Edge says.

The camp is free to be a part of ,but you need to register kid soon. You can do that at CamptoBelongIND.org.

Camp to Belong is an international organization that hosts camps in across the United States. This year will be the first year the camp is held in Indiana.

"It's the organization's 25th year, so they've been developing their programming all this time so we get to take advantage of what they've learned," Becky Moore, a co-director of Camp to Belong Indiana, said.
