Each child is matched with a trained and background checked companion where they form a relationship with the child and their family. We have 3-4 volunteer nurses on duty 24/7 during camp. We also have activities that include arts and crafts, pottery, swimming, high ropes, low ropes, canoeing, archery, team sports and more. We never talk about the disease but just have fun.
My daughter truly had the time of her life. She hadn't been feeling well in the weeks leading up to camp and we were worried about letting her go. But the growing excitement about going to camp was associated with her feeling better and better. She had such a wonderful week at camp and had so much fun getting a break from all the adults in her life and really got to just be a kid instead of a patient. We were at ease knowing the cancer care team was with her the whole time making sure she was safe. Many families struggle financially during this journey, and we would never have been able to afford to send her to any other general camp, nor would we have been comfortable doing that.
