Family Weekends
Our Family Weekends provide respite, connections and Camp fun for the whole family. They are modeled after the summer program – we simply squeeze all the laughter, friendship and care into 2 ½ days instead of seven. During the fall and spring, Camp will run 10 family weekend programs serving the following disease groups: metabolic disorders, cancers, sickle cell anemia, and orphan illnesses. For each Family Weekend we serve at least 20 families, approximately 100 people. This year alone, 1,000 children and their family members will enjoy a family weekend at Camp. Oftentimes, it is the first time a family as an entire unit can share a common joyful experience, rather than the care and concern of their sick child and sibling.
