Care Camps Foundation

Care Camps Foundation Care Camps is a non-profit funding medically supervised pediatric oncology camps across North America We invite you to join our mission!

Care Camps is a national non-profit organization that funds medically supervised pediatric oncology camps across the United States and Canada. We aspire to bring the healing power of community and the outdoors to children living with cancer and their families. We support camps who are members of the Children's Oncology Camping Association (COCA) which oversees their quality assurance and professio

nal development. We partner with the outdoor industry along with other businesses, foundations, and individuals to fund the camps. We are grateful for the legacy of a caring group of Kampgrounds of America (KOA) campground owners who began fundraising to support pediatric oncology camps in 1984.

β˜€οΈπŸ•οΈ Summer is here, and campfires, laughter, and unforgettable memories are waiting!

For children facing cancer, camp offers something truly specialβ€”a chance to be a kid first. At camp, they can explore nature, make new friends, build confidence, and create joyful memories that last long after the season ends.

Every hike, every splash in the lake, every campfire song reminds us of the healing power of connection, adventure, and hope.

This summer, we're celebrating the incredible camp experiences that help children and families find moments of joy, strength, and belonging when they need it most. πŸ’›

Thank you to our supporters, partners, and camp communities for helping make these life-changing experiences possible.

Campfires that care! Check it out as camping month continues. πŸ‘‡

This June, campgrounds across Canada are participating in Campfires That Care β€” donating $1 from every bundle of firewood sold to Care Camps Foundation, who sends children with cancer and their families to camp..

It's a small act with a big impact. Ask your campground if they're participating β€” and if you own a campground, it's not too late to join.

"From your campfire to ours, will you help us send kids with cancer to camp?"

"Camp is a space where I felt seen, heard, and understood. I connected with other girls who truly β€œgot it,” the fear, the confusion, the grief, and the strength it takes to live in the shadow of a sibling’s cancer diagnosis. For the first time, I didn’t feel alone in that experience."

Camping Changes Lives.

The impact of camping goes far beyond a weekend getaway.

Camping helps families reconnect, builds confidence in young people, creates lifelong memories, strengthens communities, and fosters a deeper appreciation for the outdoors. For many Canadians, some of life's most meaningful experiences happen around a campfire, on a hiking trail, or at a campground shared with family and friends.

That's why we're proud that Canadian RV & Camping Month also supports Care Camps.

Care Camps helps children affected by cancer experience the joy, adventure, friendship, and healing power of camp. Through the support of campground owners, campers, industry partners, and organizations across Canada, more children can access life-changing camp experiences when they need them most.

As you celebrate Canadian RV & Camping Month this June, you're also helping shine a light on an incredible cause that demonstrates the positive impact camping can have on people's lives.

Because camping doesn't just create vacations.

It creates connections. It creates confidence. It creates memories.

And sometimes, it changes lives.

A week at camp can mean so much more than outdoor adventures and new friendships. For children facing cancer, it’s a chance to laugh freely, build confidence, make lasting memories, and simply be kids.

We believe in the healing power of joy, connection, and community. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, children affected by cancer can experience the magic of camp in a safe and supportive environment.

Together, we're helping create smiles!😁
