Oncology Summer Camp

Summer Camp is available to children who have or had cancer and their siblings, ages 6-15. Thanks to the support of our donors, summer camp is offered completely free of charge! Registration is available to children both on- and off-treatment, and there is no limit to how long a child has been in remission. Our volunteer medical staff, which always consists of at least one pediatric oncologist and two pediatric oncology nurses, is capable of administering ongoing cancer care at camp. This allows us to host even the most ill children throughout the summer. The only requirement is that the child’s primary oncologist gives their permission to attend camp.

Campers stay in air conditioned cabins with up to 8 campers and 2 staff members in each. Each morning, campers choose their own activities from options including high ropes, archery, swimming, athletics, dance, arts & crafts, drama, cooking, nature, and so much more. Each afternoon includes pool time and a cabin choice activity. Every night features an activity with the entire camp involved, including talent shows, movie nights, animal shows, Color Wars, magicians, pool parties, and a year-end Prom.
