Camp Casey has four unique programs: Horsey House Calls, Cowboy Camp Outs, Outlaw Outings, and Lone Star Getaways. Learn more by visiting camp-casey.org. Yeehaw!

Camp Casey has been providing cost-free therapeutic horseback riding programs for children with cancer, sickle cell disease, and other life-threatening illnesses since 2004.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the entire family's world changes—including their brothers and sisters.

They spend hours in waiting rooms. Playdates and plans get canceled. Birthdays are celebrated around treatment schedules.

They love their sibling fiercely, but sometimes, they quietly wonder where they fit into the story.

At Camp Casey, we make sure they're part of the adventure, too.

One little brother climbed onto a horse, looked back at everyone watching, and grinned, "𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯."

That's something we don’t forget—because 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲.

So our programs are designed to bring the whole family together: to laugh, play, and make memories side by side.

🤠💜 We’re still smiling thinking about our Outlaw Outing! ✨

Earlier this month, we welcomed our Camp Casey families to Buffalo Soldiers Heritage Association for a fun day at the barn filled with laughter, connection, and a whole lot of horsey magic! 🐴 From celebrating familiar faces to making new memories, it was the sweetest way to bring our families together and close out the season.

Here’s a little sneak peek at the fun! 📸 We have so many more special moments to share, so stay tuned for more photos coming soon!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our wonderful sponsors who helped make this day possible. Your generosity helps us create meaningful experiences for our families, and we’re so grateful to have you in our corner.

The exact moment "Is that... a HORSE?!" hits. 😲➡️🥰

Nothing beats the look on a star camper’s face when they open their front door and realize that their yard has officially been transformed into a horse track for the afternoon.

No hospital walls. No doctor appointments. Just pure, unfiltered joy on horseback.

Meet Ricco Ghee! 🤠

Ricco recently completed his third season as a seasonal staffer, but his Camp Casey journey started many years before he officially stepped into that role. We’ve loved watching him grow with our program and truly appreciate the special part he plays on our crew.

Ricco has a natural ability to connect with people and make everyone feel welcome. He brings enthusiasm, positivity, and plenty of fun to every Horsey House Call, helping create meaningful moments for our campers and families.

Outside of Camp Casey, Ricco enjoys rodeo, spending time with his horse Lotto, and making music. We’re so thankful for Ricco and all the years he’s been part of the Camp Casey family! 🐴💜

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATIE!

Today we’re celebrating one of the hardest-working cowgirls behind the scenes at Camp Casey!

Katie works tirelessly to make our programs happen — moving boxes, cleaning stalls, moving trucks and trailers, snapping photos, coordinating volunteers, solving a million little problems, and somehow managing to do it all with a contagious smile on her face.

She’s the kind of person who is always ready to jump in, get her hands dirty, and do whatever needs to be done to make a Camp Casey program special for our families. So much of what happens behind the scenes simply wouldn’t happen without her!

We’re so lucky to have you in the Camp Casey family! 💛🐴

Belle is a Gyspy Vanner who lives with her friends at Starz Equestrian Center. She is a smart, outgoing girl who loves meeting new friends—both two- and four-legged! 😊

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧! 🐎✨

Over the past several months, our trailers have logged countless miles across Michigan with one simple mission: delivering happiness on horseback to brave kids fighting cancer, sickle cell disease, and other life-threatening illnesses.

We’ve seen 22 front yards transformed into sanctuaries, hospital fatigue replaced by laughter, and children step out of the shadows of treatment to just be kids again.

None of this magic happens by accident. To our incredible 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬—who woke up early, hauled gear, fed the herd, and brought endless amounts of energy to every driveway—thank you. You are the heartbeat of Camp Casey.

To our generous 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬—your contributions paid for the gas, the crafts, the pizzas, and the care that keeps our horses ready to serve. You turned compassion into real, tangible joy for families when they needed it most.

While the horses head into a well-deserved season of rest, our gratitude couldn't be higher. Thank you for making our 2026 Horsey House Call season so positive and impactful. 💛

The Cowgirls, a few of our favorite horses, and Dolly Parton were proud to represent Camp Casey at today’s Block Out Cancer Parade at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital!

As another month of going gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month concludes, we’re reminded that these brave warriors inspire us all year long 💛

What an honor it was to hug, high-five, and “yeehaw!” with these incredible children, stand alongside our fellow nonprofit organizations, and tip our cowboy hats to the incredible healthcare workers who show up and keep fighting every single day.

Today was a beautiful reminder that even in the hardest moments, there is room for joy, connection, and horse-sized hearts🐴✨
