About The Center for Courageous Kids

We are a unique Medical Camping Facility where children battling the most serious illnesses can attend, free of charge. We run two types of programs. In the summer, the ill child (ages 7-15) attends a week long session with other children suffering from the same illness. During the school year, we hold family weekends wherein the child attends with his/her family. It is a fabulous opportunity for the ill child to come out of the shadows of their everyday lives and step into the spotlight with other children coping with the same challenges.

You can help to mend the scars of serious illness that no one else can see by giving these very brave children self-confidence, friends and magical memories.

Over 4000 children and their families will come year round.  WOW!

If you're searching for a camp for children with special medical needs in the Kentucky and Tennessee regions, please check out The Center for Courageous Kids.  A medical camp serves children who could not go to a traditional camp.  There are other high caliber special needs camps around the country doing marvelous work as they focus on disabled or medically challenged kids from their own backyard.  We're so happy to be located in this gorgeous Kentucky bluegrass and so close to this area's many prestigious pediatric centers of excellence.
