Thanks for all the Fun!
We reminisced over camp memories and made amazing new ones! This year’s outdoor evening of fun, elegance and nostalgia was at the beautiful Fairmont Miramar Hotel. Featured signature camp dishes, cocktails, entertainment, and an outstanding live auction were enjoyed as we all came together to support foster children.
Everybody Deserves Camp!
Please help us open our doors to more deserving children in foster care. The need for camp, and the community it provides, has never been greater.

Why is Happy Trails Special?
At Happy Trails for Kids, while every story is different, our campers are connected by the bond of foster care - where often the joys of childhood have been stripped away. We understand precisely the importance of creating a year-round community where childhood is celebrated, friendships flourish and children have the opportunity to experience adventures and exploration.
Campers grow up with Happy Trails. Our motto is “once a camper, always a camper” and regardless of how many foster homes or other changing circumstances, our commitment to our campers is steadfast and resilient. Whether singing campfire songs, climbing a rock wall or participating in one of our monthly reunion events, our dedicated team of counselors, most of whom had personal experience in foster care, provide a circle of support, encouragement and inspiration.
Our Programs
Happy Trails for Kids provides exciting and fun-filled overnight camp experiences for children in the foster care system. Our programming extends well beyond camp. We offer year-round reunion events, weekly extracurricular programs, as well as older youth initiatives.
