Spring Break looks different for foster families.
While many families are planning trips and special outings, foster and kinship families are often navigating unexpected childcare needs, tight budgets, and the challenge of keeping work commitments—especially in homes with multiple children.
Businesses have a powerful opportunity to step in. By offering a simple discount, you can help reduce financial barriers, support working caregivers, and give foster families the chance to create meaningful memories together.
We are so thankful to these businesses across the state that provide safe, welcoming, Foster Friendly® activities for families to enjoy this spring!

From painting and mixed media to themed art intensives, these camps provide a meaningful outlet for self-expression—something especially powerful for children who may need a creative space to process big emotions or transitions.

Spring Break can bring extra energy—and extra stress—for caregivers balancing work and home. Having an active, indoor option gives families a way to channel that energy into healthy movement and shared fun.
Tennessee Aquarium – Chattanooga
A visit to the Tennessee Aquarium is both inspiring and educational. From vibrant freshwater habitats to awe-inspiring ocean exhibits, kids can explore wildlife, conservation, and science in a hands-on way.

Roller skating is timeless fun. The Skating Place offers a nostalgic, family-friendly environment where kids (and adults!) can skate, laugh, and maybe even try a few spins.
