 About Care Camps:
Since its inception, Care Camps has raised more than $24 million so kids can attend camp free of charge, with no additional cost to their already financially burdened families. While the number of kids diagnosed with cancer continues to grow, the cost of camp has risen to an average of $2,050 a week per child, creating an ever-increasing demand for funding. Someday, cancer will be nothing more than a memory. Until that day, Care Camps is here to bring hope, healing, and outright fun for kids with cancer and their families. Through its charitable fundraising efforts, Care Camps will provide necessary support to send kids with cancer to medically supervised camps, where they can have fun, build awesome friendships, feel the joy that comes from camping and spending time in nature, make memories that will help them heal and ultimately return home feeling renewed and filled with hope.
