We are excited to share this heartfelt film that tells the story of Ivy and her experience attending what she affectionately calls "Chemo Camp." Along the way, she finds friendship, belonging, and unexpected connections with a group of fellow campers who quickly become much more than friends. Through laughter, adventure, and shared experiences, Ivy discovers that camp is a place where she can simply be a kid and create memories that will last a lifetime. It's an inspiring story of resilience, friendship, and the unforgettable impact of camp.

Actor, Neil Patrick Harris, and writer/director, George Jacques, talk about their movie, Sunny Dancer, and Care Camps Foundation.

Read our special message about the film here. ✨💚

Today, we want to give a special shout-out to our incredible medical team volunteers!

We simply could not host our programs without their dedication and compassion. Whether they are caring for kids (and fellow volunteers) at camp or helping recruit new campers and volunteers in our clinics, their impact is felt every day.

Please join us in showing our appreciation by reacting to this post and celebrating these amazing individuals. Thank you for all you do!

Every year, 15,000 children in the United States hear the words no family should ever hear: "Your child has cancer." Until the day a cure is found and no child is diagnosed with cancer, we remain committed to providing life-changing camp experiences and unwavering support to children and families affected by childhood cancer.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family is impacted. That is why our programs are intentionally designed to support every member of the family throughout their journey.

Registration for Family Camp is now open, and we are thrilled to once again partner with Outdoor Adventures Resort Properties to provide an unforgettable weekend for our families. Join us October 16-18 for Halloween-themed fun, family activities, and the opportunity to connect with others who understand your experience.

Sign up today and make lasting memories with your family!

We are thrilled to partner with Outdoor Adventures again this year to bring a fun filled weekend to our families this year. The program will be hosted at their Lake Shore Resort in Davison, Michigan. This large resort property offers family cabins in a beautiful natural setting with trails, a spring...

We are proud to be members of the Children's Oncology Camping Association-International (COCA-I) whose mission is to strengthen, support and connect the international community of camps serving individuals and families affected by childhood cancer.

Pediatric oncology camp is more than a week away from home. It’s the moment a camper realizes they aren’t alone. It’s trying something new with people cheering them on. It’s friendships built through shared experiences—without anyone having to explain. It’s laughter, independence, belonging, and the freedom to let cancer take a back seat.

The memories may begin at camp, but the confidence and connections can continue long after everyone returns home. That is the lasting power of pediatric oncology camping. 💛

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and we are proud to offer programs that support the entire family during their cancer journey. Until there's a cure there's camp.
