"[Three Rivers Respite] was, without a doubt, one of her ‘top’ experiences since being with us these past two months. Not only was it a joy for her, but it was such a sweet relief to pick her up and hear that she enjoyed it so much and didn't want to leave.”

Our Story

Heather and Matt Alt didn’t dream of running a nonprofit.  

They didn’t necessarily envision themselves being foster parents either. But as the saying goes, “The Lord works in mysterious ways.”​

Fifteen foster placements and three adopted children later, the couple finds themselves a part of a very special community—but one that doesn’t come easy. ​

Realizing the need for respite in foster care, the Alts founded Three Rivers Respite, a seven-acre camp on Johns Island near Charleston, S.C.

Why Respite Care?

“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."

—Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
