Our Philosophy
At Camp Rock, we believe that it is best for a family to foster with a community of support. Therefore, we seek to recruit families who are connected to a local church. As an agency, we will then provide ongoing support, encouragement, and communication within these family units as they develop a stable environment for the care of foster children. We believe that this partnership will produce long-term foster families to partner with DFCS.
Our Mission
To recruit, train, encourage, and support foster families by guiding them through the fostering process. We will continue to walk with them through the process of reuniting the child with their biological family or, when the state requires, help that child find a forever home through adoption.
Our Vision
To provide temporary homes for Georgia’s foster children and to create parent partnerships through local churches and organizations. We will partner with these organizations to offer services for both foster children and their parents. Our desire is to help families reunite whenever possible.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The DHS assists foster families with placement and ensures the child adjusts well to their new environment. Whether you have years of parenting experience or are relatively new to the idea, they have many support options for families. You can find plenty of information on the DHS/DFCS website or call them for more assistance.
Your local licensed child placement agency also places children in the foster system with carefully matched parents. Although foster care is temporary, it's crucial to find the right fit. That's why parents get a say in age range and gender.
There are also many state support groups for foster families that provide educational resources, services, and more. Connecting with these organizations and adding to your personal support network will be invaluable.
One of the best ways to become a better parent, whether you plan on fostering a child short-term or adopting, is to read as much as you can about Georgia's foster system. For instance, recently proposed bills would help to streamline parts of the state's foster care placement system.
You can find plenty of information available online for free as well. Blogs, podcasts, and videos are all incredibly useful ways to obtain new information about fostering.
