Milton Marks Family Camp is an annual weekend retreat created for families where one parent has a malignant brain tumor.

We provide families with respite, strengthen connection and community in a fully supported environment at no cost to our participants.

Camp is about to start!🏕️🧡Staff arrives THIS Friday followed by 16 families (our wonderful campers!). And go our website (🔗 in bio) to support our camp this year, where we focus on ROOTS of connection and strength. 🌲🪾🌳🍄‍🟫

Camp is SO needed to bring the healing of community (the best antidote to the isolation and stress a brain tumor can bring) to our patients, caregivers and kids. In fraught times such as these, acts of care, support, and love matter more than ever. And Milton Marks Family Camp delivers just that. Please consider making a gift today to help sustain this vital community for families facing the challenges of a brain tumor diagnosis.
