Since 1984, TNOYS and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services have hosted PEAKS Camp to give kids in foster care what is often their only chance for a traditional camp experience. Volunteers are essential to the camp’s success: they help lead traditional camp activities such as crafts and sports and support a curriculum that has helped thousands of youth prepare to age out of foster care and into adulthood.

Young adults who will be or who have recently aged out of foster care can meet with mentors to apply for housing vouchers and education assistance.
