Embrace Joy and Join the Movement Today!

The Embrace Joy Movement is where camp, creativity, and community come together. Celebrate You (yeah, we’re looking at you—create a fundraiser for your birthday, wedding, or any other personal accomplishment), Host an Event (it’s your party you can do what you want to — host an yoga class, a bingo night, or your own style of event), Get Active (see that mountain over there—it needs climbing or run that half marathon—fundraise for your next physical feat), or Freestyle (you can’t camp dance wrong—fundraise in your own style!) to raise funds and awareness for Roundup River Ranch. Whatever you do, do it with joy to provide opportunities for children with serious illnesses to discover joy, friendships, and confidence! Start your own fundraiser or join one of our feature events below!

Fund A Cabin

$25,000
We’ll leave it to our campers to tell you about the friendships they make in their cabins, “The friends I meet here can relate to my life. The good and the bad, the struggles and strife. That makes us grow closer and feel less alone. These are the friendships I could never imagine at home.

Heal The Soul

$10,000
We provide individualized medical care for each of our campers. Our physician and nurse volunteers leave their lab coats and scrubs behind and join our medical team at camp. And while they may not “look” like doctors or nurses when they’re swinging from a zip line, the truth is they are constantly focused on the needs and well-being of every camper.

We Are Family

$5,000
At Roundup River Ranch, there’s no age limit on silliness, laughter, or needing a break from the real world. So at camp, families are supported with love and empathy as they relish this unique chance to escape the stress of their child’s medical condition, and connect with others who are on a similar journey. We love knowing that a family dancing together is also healing together.

Sponsor A Camper

$3,000
Camp - changing lives, one summer and one camper at a time. Every single thing we do, every decision we make, every game we play, even every song we sing are done in the best interest of our campers. We put campers and their families first. Always.

How‘s Your Aim

$1,000
BULLSEYE! Targets, bows, and being savvy about safety. All of that and more thanks to you! Your support means that campers will be able to develop confidence. Like all of our programs archery is adapted to meet the needs of each and every camper- this would not be possible without you!

Spread S‘More Love

$500
Gather around the campfire. Thanks to you chocolate, graham crackers, creative ingredients like apples, and gooey fingers will all be a part of the fun! This is campers’ first introduction to the magic of camp and shared experiences.

Get Creative

$250
Provide necessary supplies for the Art Yurt, the place where anything goes and everyone is an artist. Provide supplies like glow in the dark paint, wooden frames, glitter, and much, much more. Your generosity allows campers to express their individuality and show off their creative talents.

Dish It Out

$100
YOU know how kids get giggling and they can’t stop, and then they snort through their nose and then the giggling gets ridiculously more uncontrollable until everyone is giggling and snorting and actually crying tears of laughter? That is the ultimate success story of a “No-Hands Spaghetti Dinner.”

#EmbraceJoy

All aboard for Friendship Junction! 🫶 For November Camp Online, our campers from Camp Club and Teen Club combined for a month all about friendship. We celebrated camp traditions by creating friendship bracelets, Celebrate U Jars, and Hope Stars. They also wrote letters to friends and family, and answered questions like, “What does it mean to be a good friend?” and “If you were on an island and could pick one person to be with, who would it be?” 🏝️
 
As we wrap up this month’s club, we are so excited to start December’s Seasons of Giving! Join us for three consecutive days of festive family games to raise money for Roundup River Ranch. Register before December 1st on RoundupRiverRanch.CampManagement.com or with our link in bio 🔗💕
Happy Thanksgiving from Roundup River Ranch! 🍂 Today, we're sending you 3,909 thank yous! 🫶

We are beyond thankful for our wonderful campers, volunteers, donors, partners, and staff. We are thankful that we get to do what we do, and thankful for the beautiful campsite where we get to do it. ⛰️

We are grateful for many things this year, but especially the 3,909 camper experiences that were able to happen. We want to send a big THANK YOU to everyone who makes these experiences possible. We appreciate all of you! 🧡 #HappyThanksgiving #Thankful
In this powerful year of belonging, we want to thank each and every person in our community for making it a place to belong. It’s because of you that camp continues to be a welcoming and warm place. We are honored to share a message of gratitude from a camper mom and volunteer who has fully embraced the power of camp this year.
 
“I just want to say, thank you. After dropping Audra off at camp, I became overwhelmed on my drive back home. At first, I thought it was because this will be the first time I have gone five days without speaking to her. But quickly realized it was an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and relief that I was experiencing.”

“Roundup River Ranch seemed like such a mystical place even up to the day that she was accepted - too good to be true. But then it became even more magical in reality. It wasn't until the nurses spent time learning about Audra and when one of the nurses said, 'she isn't alone,' that I truly understood that this is a safe space - an entire camp full of other children just like her and grown-ups who care.”
 
“Thank you for making space for me to tell you about her. Thank you for making it safe to leave her in your care. Thank you for giving her a life-changing experience.” – Jenna
 
Thanks to your commitment, Roundup River Ranch is an incredibly special place for so many children with life-altering diagnoses and their families. Your support is the power behind the joy these campers feel at camp and the hope they hold for the future. So, from all of us here at camp, we wish you a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving!
