Camp to Belong is making a difference in the lives of separated siblings in the foster care system...




Camp to Belong welcomes siblings who have been separated by the foster care system, giving them the opportunity to share memories with one another and meet kids who are in similar situations. 
On Monday "Nightly News" profiled a camp that's the first of its kind in the country: Camp to Belong.
By reuniting siblings separated in foster care, brothers and sisters are finally able to experience things most siblings take for granted, like celebrating birthdays together. 
There are about 400,000 children in the U.S. living in foster care and more than half of those with siblings also in the system are separated from at least one of them.
