The Taylor Family Foundation

Family is a child’s central source of strength and support, studies show that children cope better and heal faster when family is by their side. Often families of the children we serve find themselves in urgent need, be it financial, medical, emotional, or programmatic. In addition to funding camp, TTFF provides support for these urgent needs to families who are experiencing a medical crisis. Whether it is helping families with basic needs and tangible necessities to rebuild their lives, visiting them in the hospital, or suggesting and coordinating outside resources, TTFF knows that helping the family ultimately helps the child. TTFF allows the children in these families with distinctive opportunities to gain independence, build self-confidence and become more optimistic about their life-circumstances. Introduced to new levels of social interaction, acceptance and encouragement, these children are afforded a solid and reliable foundation as they face the challenges inevitable in their everyday lives.

Sophie's Place, a mobile music therapy program was launched in 2013 by TTFF in partnership with Wells Fargo and Forever Young Foundation as an addition to its wellness programs. In addition to offering music therapy during the summer months and weekends while our camps are in session at Camp Arroyo, our licensed Music Therapist travels bringing music, joy, and healing to pediatric patients and their families who are homebound or patients in Northern California hospitals.
