In its own words
We operate a series of week-long overnight camps that empower children with medical conditions and disabilities to participate in fun safe camp activities. The camp fosters the development of life-long skills and independence and creates lasting opportunities for friendship and fulfillment. We hosted approximately 380 campers this year; lower than expected due to the pandemic.
