Ep. 300! • ‘Camp TLC’ With Founder & Executive Director, Caroline Baumis

The Power of Love Show

As we commemorate a remarkable achievement, the 300th episode of The Power of Love Show, we have the privilege of welcoming a very special guest, Caroline Baumis, who is not only part of DDJF's Board of Directors, but also an integral member of our team! Caroline has over 25 years of experience in the nonprofit sector with an emphasis on youth and families. Caroline began her career at AmeriCares, where she quickly became the Executive Director of Camp AmeriKids, one of the first camps for children with HIV/AIDS in the tri-state area of NY, NJ, and CT. During her tenure as Executive Director, Caroline participated in several relief missions across the globe, including the Albania Refugee Crisis in 1999. Caroline decided to get her master’s degree in social work from Fordham and went on to work in the field of social work at the Westchester Institute of Human Development. Caroline quickly realized that social work wasn't for her and felt that healing came from alleviating feelings of isolation, and she went on to lead several small grassroots organizations until she founded her own charity….Camp TLC (Together Living a Challenge), a program for families living with a medical or life trauma. Since its inception in 2011, Camp TLC has run over 40 programs in five states, including the challenging region of Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. Recently, Caroline also joined the Alzheimer's Association and serves as Program Manager, where she lends her skills to develop educational programs for Nevada. Caroline joined the Board of DDJF in 2019 because she believes in the healing power of music therapy and is working to help expand our programs in the state of Nevada.
