Our Programs Help
to Heal Broken Lives
CDA believes in a holistic approach to healing the children and families we assist to increase the potential for positive long-term outcomes.
Addressing multiple aspects, including the wellbeing of the parents and caregivers will further enhance these outcomes.
Empowerment & Coping Care Packages
Children’s Dream Adventures first delivers our initial coping and empowerment care packages through social workers, chaplains, or school counselors.
These care packages contain age-appropriate content for the children and also include resources and instructions to assist parents with presenting the material. We even take care of the parents and caregivers!
Family Adventures
A Change in Perspective Can Soften Stressful Situations
If a family decides to accept our adventure invitation, Children’s Dream Adventures sends the family on a 5-day all-expenses paid domestic adventure including spending money.
There are several fun-filled activities for the families to choose from to assist them in decompressing and combating stressful times.
Unfortunately, as the State of Florida requires a court order for foster children to travel out of state, foster family adventure will be limited to travel in FL at this time.
Children’s Dream Adventure’s will also be offering additional activities and events for the foster children residing in a residential care facility.
Offshore Fishing Excursions
Children’s Dream Adventures offers offshore fishing excursions for the children we serve!
Teaching kids how to fish instills patience, improves coordination and motor planning skills, as well as building confidence, combined with inspiring an appreciation for nature and our environment.
Financial Literacy Training
Financial literacy is a core life skill.
Poor money management skills lead to hasty, desperate, and anxious decisions, which often create more debt, and stress. Beginning with the freshman class of 2023, all Florida high school students will be required to take a .5 credit financial literacy class.
Scholarship & Grant Opportunities
Children’s Dream Adventures will be awarding scholarships to the children we serve going to college or a tech/vocational school.

Vocational Training & Jobs Program
As part of our holistic approach, Children’s Dream Adventures will be partnering with several organizations to give the children we serve access to some amazing training, and jobs programs.
Children’s Dream Adventures is also partnering with corporations and government agencies, to create some very exiting vocational training programs, including our wildland firefighter academy.
All Inclusive
While some of the programs are exclusive to either grieving children or foster children, other programs,
such as the scholarship, educational, and employment opportunities are available to both groups. In addition, our programs will also be made available to ANY children facing traumatic life-changing situations.
Children’s Dream Adventures is partnering with other organizations to expand our services and
broaden our impact.
