Tonight is the last night before Camp Quality Arkansas Summer Camp begins for the COC.

It’s hard to describe the feeling tonight—a mix of anticipation, excitement, and relief.

For the past 12 months, we’ve planned, revised, adjusted, improved, and prepared for this week. Countless meetings, phone calls, emails, spreadsheets, supply lists, schedules, and conversations have all led to this moment.

Tomorrow, we’ll begin driving in from all over—Mammoth Springs, Kansas City, Bella Vista, and everywhere in between—for one shared purpose: to create an unforgettable week for an incredible group of kids.

Some of these campers we’ve known for years. Some we’ve never met. Some will arrive nervous and unsure of what to expect. Some will drive through the gates feeling like they’re coming home.

And then there are the graduates.

The campers who have grown up here. The ones who have spent years making memories, building friendships, and discovering that Camp Quality is a place where they belong. It’s hard to imagine what Closing Circle will feel like when they officially graduate as campers.

Tonight, the schedules are printed. The supplies are packed. The plans are in place.

Tomorrow, the real magic begins.

Here’s to a week of laughter, friendship, adventure, and letting kids with cancer be kids again.

💛 See you at camp.

🎒 Camp countdown is on!

While campers are packing their favorite pillows, extra socks, and comfort items, our supporters have been hard at work too!

You didn't just clear our Amazon wishlist—you cleared it, we added more items, and then you cleared it again. 🤯💛

Because of your generosity, our Canteen and Alternative Food Station are going to be stocked with more options than ever before. Campers will have so many fun choices throughout the week!

Thank you to everyone who donated snacks, supplies, and camp essentials. Your support helps create the little moments that make Camp Quality so special.

Now the big question is: where are we going to put all these snacks? 🍪🍿🍫

🏛️In just 5 short days, Camp Quality Arkansas campers will see this familiar face.

Meet Joselyn Ferralez!

Before she became part of the Camp Quality Arkansas family in 2020, Joselyn's Camp Quality journey began with Camp Quality Illinois. From the moment she arrived, she brought her enthusiasm, kindness, and Camp Quality spirit with her.

Last summer, Joselyn celebrated a major milestone by graduating as a camper. This year, she's returning to camp as a Companion-in-Training making the exciting transition from camper to volunteer.

As one of our newest full-circle volunteers, Joselyn represents exactly what Camp Quality is all about. Camp Quality creates experiences, friendships, and memories that last far beyond a camper's final year and sometimes those campers come back to help create that same magic for the next generation.

Having recently been a camper herself, Joselyn brings a unique perspective to camp. She understands what campers are feeling, what they're excited about, and what makes a Camp Quality week so special.

We're excited to watch Joselyn take this next step in her Camp Quality journey and can't wait to share the mountain with her this summer.

What questions can Joselyn answer for you?

🏛️ In just 6 short days, Camp Quality Arkansas campers will see this familiar face.

Meet Nicole Turnage!

Nicole first joined Camp Quality Arkansas in 2002 as a camper and is one of our amazing full-circle volunteers.

As the older sibling of a childhood cancer survivor, Nicole understands firsthand that cancer impacts the entire family. Camp Quality became an important part of her journey and helped shape the person she is today.

In her own words:

💛 "As the older sibling of a childhood cancer survivor, Camp Quality Arkansas shaped my life—fueling my passion to become a pediatric hematology/oncology physician and deepening my commitment to service. Camp Quality is truly life-changing."

This summer marks Nicole's 10th summer as a volunteer, and we're lucky to have her serving as a Cabin Leader and Programming Support.

Many of our favorite camp traditions happen behind the scenes with Nicole's help, including:
💛 Warm Fuzzies
💛 Hercules' Challenge Cards
💛 Autograph Pages

Nicole has a special gift for creating opportunities for campers and volunteers to encourage one another, celebrate friendships, and make memories that last long after camp ends.

From camper to volunteer leader, Nicole's journey is a wonderful example of the lasting impact Camp Quality can have on a family.

🏛️In just 7 short days, Camp Quality Arkansas campers will see this familiar face.

Meet Anneliese Kulakofsky (AK)!

AK's Camp Quality journey began in 1992 with Camp Quality Arkansas. What started as a volunteer opportunity grew into a lifetime of service to Camp Quality USA and the families it serves.

After 2001, AK helped launch Camp Quality Texas, served as a National Board member, and ultimately became National Board President, a role she held until her retirement from the board in 2025.

Her leadership has helped shape Camp Quality USA across the country, but we're thrilled that her journey has brought her back home to Arkansas.

When asked to step into the vital role of Volunteer Coordinator, AK didn't hesitate. It's a role that feels especially fitting, as she filled a similar position with Camp Quality Arkansas more than 25 years ago. Her experience, wisdom, and passion for Camp Quality make her the perfect person to welcome and support our volunteers.

AK has spent decades helping ensure that children facing cancer have the opportunity to experience the joy, friendship, and adventure that Camp Quality provides.

We are excited to share the mountain with her this summer and grateful for everything she brings to our Camp Quality family.

🏛️ In just 8 short days, Camp Quality Arkansas campers will see this familiar face.
Meet Trevor Asher!

Trevor joined the Camp Quality Arkansas family in 2015 and has been a familiar face at camp ever since. Whether serving as a Companion, Cabin Leader, or jumping in wherever he's needed, Trevor brings a positive attitude, a caring heart, and a genuine commitment to our campers.

Many volunteers know Trevor as the inspiration behind Pocket Trevor, a camp tradition that has brought plenty of laughs and adventures over the years. But anyone who knows Trevor understands why he inspired it in the first place. His humor, compassion, and dedication to Camp Quality have made a lasting impact on campers, families, and volunteers alike.

Trevor is always ready to bring the fun, lift others up, and remind us what camp is really about: Letting Kids with Cancer Be Kids Again.

He's also never afraid to jump in and help when Camp Quality needs him. Earlier this year, Trevor helped launch our first Wishlist Madness campaign, helping spread the word and support camp in a big way.

This year marks an exciting milestone for Trevor. This fall, he will begin pursuing a PhD in Experimental Psychology at the University of Arkansas. His work will focus on emotion regulation and the role music can play in helping young people develop healthy emotional skills.

While we're excited for "Dr. Trev" and all that lies ahead, we're even more excited that he will be spending another summer at Camp Quality before beginning this next chapter.

🤠 Flashback Friday – 1994 🤠

In the summer of 1994, Camp Quality Arkansas found itself on an unexpected adventure. After a fire at Camp Powderfork, camp moved to Searcy, Arkansas, where we traded our familiar surroundings for a week in the Wild West.

The location may have changed, but the mission never did. Campers, volunteers, and staff came together to create a week filled with laughter, friendship, and memories that would last a lifetime.

More than 30 years later, Camp Quality Arkansas is still proving that camp isn't a place—it's the people who make the magic happen.

Do you have memories from the Wild West summer of 1994? We'd love to hear them in the comments! ❤️💙

🏛️ In just 9 short days, Camp Quality Arkansas campers will see this familiar face.

Meet Liz Roberg!

Liz is another one of our incredible full-circle volunteers. She first joined the Camp Quality family as a camper back in 1993, creating memories at Camp Quality long before many of today's volunteers ever attended camp.

After a 17-year break, Liz has returned to Camp Quality, and we're thrilled to have her back! This summer, she will serve as both a Cabin Leader and Companion, bringing her unique perspective as someone who once experienced camp through the eyes of a camper.

Liz is a proud Camp Powderfork girl, so while camp may look a little different these days, the spirit of Camp Quality remains the same. We may need to give her a tour of the Camp Mitchell grounds, but she'll fit right back in when it's time to gather around the campfire—one of the things she's most excited about this summer!

What questions can Liz answer for you?
