We know sending your child to camp, especially for the first time, can come with a lot of questions.

That’s why camp is built to be a safe, supportive, and fully staffed environment where kids are cared for, understood, and encouraged every step of the way.

And this year, they’ll be part of something even bigger: our 40th anniversary celebration.

If you’re on the fence, we’re here to help answer any questions.

The success of Camp Catch-A-Rainbow comes from the strong relationships we have built with all of our partner hospitals. Child life staff, nurses, and doctors not only help children in the hospital, but also help get them to camp. Their tireless work to improve the lives of every child who comes through their clinics leads so many kids to Camp Catch-A-Rainbow each year.

A huge thank you to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor for all of your efforts throughout the year. A special thank you as well to Henry Ford Jackson Hospital for helping supply many of our medical needs during camp week.

Last Friday, we were lucky enough to visit patients at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital to talk about camp and received many donated items that will be given to our campers this year. Thanks again to all those who make CCAR a truly magical week!

‘This is the one place my child feels completely understood.’

We hear this from parents every year.

Camp gives kids facing cancer something they don’t always get elsewhere—a space where they belong without explanation.

That’s what makes this week so important.

Ever wondered what a day at camp looks like?

It’s early morning laughs, packed activity schedules, team challenges, campfires, and moments you don’t forget.

You’re never doing it alone; you’re part of a team making the week unforgettable.

If you’ve been thinking about volunteering, this is your sign.
