About this program

TSC hosts gatherings throughout the year — like Open Play Days, family visits, court-ordered visits, and adoption celebrations — that create space for foster families to slow down, connect, and breathe. And when appropriate, others are invited to join in, celebrating milestones, memories, and everyday moments outdoors.

Impact for Children Experiencing Foster Care: Create safe, predictable outdoor spaces where kids can relax, play, and simply be kids. Offer natural opportunities to reconnect with family of origin (siblings, parents) in a calm, outdoor setting. Build trust and connection through shared experiences that feel natural and low-pressure. Replace difficult memories with positive ones rooted in fun, safety, and belonging. Encourage emotional healing through unstructured play and time in nature. Remind every child that they are seen, valued, and surrounded by people who care.

Every visit & gathering reminds us that healing happens over time, with intention, and through connection — and that every family deserves to be supported and seen.
