Making the joy of camp a reality for every child

The Center for Courageous Kids (CCK) is dedicated to creating empowering experiences for children with disabilities or lifelong illnesses and their families. Through accessible, joyful, and transformative camp programs, we strive to help every camper grow in confidence, gain independence, and meet their new best friend —all at no cost to our campers and families.

Grow In Confidence Through High-Quality Programming

Our camp is designed to inspire confidence and self-esteem through activities that empower children to develop new skills, all with support and encouragement from our team of experienced medical and camp professionals.

Gain Independence That Lasts Long After Camp

Children are empowered to challenge themselves and embrace new experiences. They leave camp with a sense of independence and courage that stays with them long after the experience is over, believing they can achieve anything.

Meet Their New Best Friend

Campers will share stories, laugh together, and will take home friendships that last a lifetime. The friends made at camp will understand you and support you through every adventure, creating a place where you can truly be yourself.
