Nearly half a million children in the United States are in the foster care system. While some may have their basic needs met, many experience instability and a lack of resources, which prevents them from pursuing their dreams and goals. Since 2006, The Felix Organization has been bringing hope and joy to these children, making their lives better through enrichment programs like overnight camp, holiday events, gifts, outings, leadership conferences, and more. 

The mission of the Felix Organization is to enrich, uplift, and support foster youth with a caring community, life-changing activities, events, and opportunities through two main initiatives: Camp Felix and Felix Forward. 

Camp Felix includes five overnight summer camps and two day-camp programs, which have served nearly 1,000 foster youth annually in New York and California for nearly two decades. Felix Forward provides support outside of the camp season to foster children and their families who have financial limitations, in order to continue the cultural, extracurricular, and familial experiences introduced to them at camp.

For 17 years, The Felix Organization has strived to ensure children in the foster care system have a fighting chance at happiness and success. 

It only takes $750 to send a kid to camp. 

We hope you will join us on this critical journey to improve the lives of foster youth.
