LIFE-CHANGING JOY FOR KIDS
WITH LIFE-ALTERING DIAGNOSES.

When a child with a life-altering diagnosis experiences camp, it lights a fire inside them and they discover they have the power to take on life in bold, joyful new ways. It ignites an “I can do it” belief, as they discover that they are strong and resilient. And, it fuels entire families with inspiration and hope.

THE POWER OF PURE
CHILDHOOD JOY

Camp programs have the extraordinary power to make kids with life-altering diagnoses feel like ordinary kids.

THE POWER OF
CONNECTION

Our volunteers fuel fun and friendships and get a powerful amount of love and inspiration in return.

THE POWER OF GENEROSITY

Your donation not only makes all of our camp experiences possible, it makes them FREE to every camper.

  • “Today I made a new friend. I didn’t have to explain my illness. Or what I’ve been through. Or cover up my scar. Or tell them how I feel. We just started talking about horses. And our love of tacos. And how scared we were of spiders.”
