New Jersey Adoption Resource Clearing House

Priority Lottery Registration Deadline Dec. 8th, 2025

The mission of Pact Family Camp is to provide a safe, honest, child-centered, anti-racist space where adopted children and youth of color can connect with peers and mentors who share their identities and experiences, and where their parents can dig deeply into not only the joys but also the challenges of adoption, race, and family.

Through a week-long immersive program, we set in motion a transformative experience that continues to impact families long after camp is over. Children and parents come away with a deeper understanding of the complexities of adoption, new language they can use to talk about it, and the knowledge that they are not alone on the lifelong journey of adoption.

Camp is in high demand. Although we would love to admit every family who applies, capacity is limited. Therefore, we use a lottery to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to attend. We hold 30% of our available slots for new families (first time at Pact Family Camp), and 30% of our available slots for families led by adoptive parents of color.

Lottery admittance will be announced Jan. 7th, 2026
