Children with Serious Illnesses

To our valued families, volunteers and CCK friends:

Each year, we look forward to announcing all-new session dates in preparation for a calendar full of exciting family retreats and summer camps. COVID-19 is still present in our community. CCK’s commitment to the well-being and safety of all our participants is unwavering. We have made the difficult but important decision to postpone the program schedule through May 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has required us to raise our demanding standards to an even higher level with new protocols for the current circumstances. Like many of you, we are uplifted and hopeful with the introduction of the vaccine and all of the preventive measures being taken to slow the spread of the virus. We are optimistic that CCK will be able to serve our families soon.

Thank you for all of your support, understanding and encouragement during this time. We will continue to celebrate all of you with passion and joy! We are working with our Board of Directors, Healthcare Partners, as well as city and state healthcare experts to ensure that we can resume camp as soon as possible.

Stay safe and well,

Joanie O’Bryan
CEO/President

Give the Gift of Camp

Partners like you inspire families during weekend retreats where the entire family comes together and experiences a weekend of recreation and respite at no cost. This bonding experience provides a support system throughout the year.

Inspire Families

In a world where these children are often told they cannot, at CCK they can. Our campers enjoy every activity and event with no limitations or restrictions because the camping facility is fully accessible.

Empower Kids

Your generosity helps CCK design a camp experience that provides children inspiring activities that enhance their lives by giving them the chance to develop new skills and increase self-esteem with the guidance and encouragement from our expert program staff.

Enhance Lives

When you support CCK, you provide 24-hour supervision by experienced medical specialists so campers can laugh and play safely under the watchful eye of doctors, nurses and therapists who are experienced in their diagnosis. At CCK, children have the opportunity to take a break from their daily medical challenges and focus on enjoying camp!

Provide Care

During CCK’s summer camp sessions, children have the opportunity to meet a community of peers living with the same medical condition. The relationships made with other children who understand their daily struggles and challenges provide a sense of comfort and hope in knowing they are not alone.

Give Community

CCK also supports the parents of these courageous campers. As their child is enjoying a medically safe camping experience, parents can take this opportunity to reconnect and focus their attention on each other.
