Inspired by nature and flowing with optimism we offer children who battle life-threatening or disabling medical conditions a camp experience to rejuvenate their youth and strengthen their spirits. That is our mission statement however, our mission is so much more than words. We have spent the past 13 years inspiring not only the children we serve but also their parents and siblings.

These camps are life changing for the children who attend them.  The children become more confident, more social, and more independent. Most importantly of all they regain a strong sense of hope.  These camps are mechanisms to provoke changes in lifetime goals. The children who attend acquire new skills which help them better problem solve, identify obstacles and then overcome those obstacles to achieve their desired goals. 

They also encourage the parents who witness the change in their children. They see the renewed desire of their children to aspire to new challenges, to try new things, to not give up before they have even tried something.  It is a respite for the parents, who many times are 24-hour a day care givers.  In some cases, it is the first break they’ve had since learning of their child’s diagnosis.  The camps encourage change but are also uplifting for the entire family.
