Summer 2026 is officially over, and we're celebrating a truly magical season at Camp Oasis 🧡
1,051 campers came together across 10 residential weeks and 1 virtual week at Camp Oasis, our camp experience for kids and teens with IBD, where they connect with others who truly understand what they're going through.

The result? Campers are 48% less likely to feel embarrassed about their IBD.

That's the power of connection.
