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.

  • Roundup River Ranch is proud to celebrate 20 years of creating free life-changing experiences for children with life-altering diagnoses and their families. Since 2006, we’ve shared The Power of Camp by inspiring independence, connection, joy, and hope.

Happy Birthday, Paul Newman! 🎉 Today would have been Paul Newman's 101st birthday, which is why we want to remember his life and achievements. We celebrate his passion and vision for providing a special place for children with life-altering medical diagnoses to "raise a little hell" - at no cost to the children or their families. 💛 This is the same mission that inspires and motivates our work today. Now, Roundup River Ranch is still carrying out Paul's vision, along with our sister camps as part of the @seriousfun_camps network. Happy 101st birthday, Paul!
