| Who We Are: Camp Connect California offers siblings separated by out-of-home placement the opportunity to spend a week in the mountains for a unique sibling-focused camping experience. For many of these campers, some only see each other once a week, once a month, once a year, or for some, only once every few yeras. Campers spend five fun-filled days with their siblings and the other campers –who share the common experience of being in out-of-home care. Campers range in age from 9 to 18 years old and are from all over California. Camp Connect California continues to be set apart from other summer camps because of the value and emphasis placed on the sibling connection. Camp Connect California is the hallmark event for the statewide Sibling Connection Initiative. All Camp activities are intentionally designed to build trust, encourage healing, and strengthen sibling relationships. Such activities include rock rappelling, a rock wall climb, a sibling hike, lake activities, horseback riding, arts & crafts, sibling blanket activity, a birthday celebration, theme events, and much more. Throughout the week, siblings reconnect with one another and build the foundation for nurturing relationships that will guide them toward the paths of becoming healthy adults in society. | ||

| WISH LIST: Paint, canvasses, volunteers! | ||
| Who We Are: Tolerance Minnesota is an award-winning diversity education program that utilizes popular culture to help teachers and students understand the importance and impact of all cultures in our society. Tolerance Minnesota creates partnerships with students, parents and teachers to celebrate diversity, confront prejudice and encourage civic responsibility through resources, lesson plans and art residencies that meet Minnesota's graduation standards and fit seamlessly into teachers' existing curricula. The Color Project teaches children that, in reality, there is no such skin color as black or white. Instead, the lesson teaches children that their skin is made up of many different colors. Mixing paint together to form their own unique skin color gives students a sense of pride and a realization that they cannot be placed in such simple categories as black and white. The Color Project further reinforces the idea that appearances should not be the only way to describe a person | ||
