Special Days Camp provides a safe and memorable camping opportunity in a medically-supervised environment for children who have experienced cancer and their siblings, serving the entire family. We offer traditional camping activities adapted to meet the special needs of our campers.
Special Days Camp – This is the seed that started it all. Special Days Camp was founded to create a fun week-long summer camp experience for children with cancer. Under the watchful eye of skilled doctors, nurses, and a well-trained staff, campers are able to experience everything from swimming and hiking to archery and horseback riding and much more. Our staff is there to help them every step of the way. Because of the magical feel of Special Days, at age 18 many campers return as staff to continue the traditions and serve families in need. If you are looking for a place that has all the support and understanding of home with the staff of a hospital, Special Days Camp is the place to be.
Special Days Partners Camp – At Special Days, we recognize that cancer affects the whole family. Often a sibling can feel left out because of the attention a family must place on the child with cancer. So Partners Camp, a separate week-long program exclusively for the siblings of children with cancer, was born. Siblings can experience all the fun, support, and growth that their brother or sister gets to experience. Friendships that last a lifetime are formed during this camp session as Partners are surrounded by peers who understand.
Our activities are intentionally designed to promote self-esteem, confidence, friendships, teamwork, and leadership. Campers are given the opportunity to challenge themselves and develop life skills as they move through our programs. Developing these skills can help them successfully meet the challenges of treatment, school, work, and family.
