About Us

Camp Journey NW is a camp providing a community of hope for children and their families touched by cancer. Dealing with childhood cancer can sometimes make “just being a kid” seem out of reach. At Camp Journey NW, our goal is to change that perception and reality. In this nurturing, medically supervised home-away-from-home, young cancer survivors can leave their worries behind for one magical week and immerse themselves in a fun-filled outdoor camp experience tailored expressly to their needs. Meanwhile, their families and caregivers can rest easy, knowing that trained oncology staff is on-site 24/7.

Day Camp
Monday, July 7th - July 10th 2025 (9:15–4:00 pm each day)

This camp is designed for 5- to 7-year-old cancer patients and survivors. These campers do not bring a sibling or friend along to camp. Parents are invited to attend on Monday from 8:45–11:30 am. Lodging may be available for families traveling from outside the area (approximately 2 hours away or more). Please call to request lodging.

Resident Camp
July 6th - July 12th 2025

This camp is designed for 7- to 17-year-old cancer patients and survivors. Campers are invited to bring along one sibling, or a friend of similar age, to share in the camp experience. Airline transportation may be available for campers traveling from outside the area. Please call to request airline transportation.

Leader-in-Training
July 6th - July 12th 2025

This program is designed for 16- and 17-year-old cancer patients and survivors who are looking for outstanding leadership training, are interested in developing new skills, and want a chance to see what being a leader is all about. LITs share their talents and enthusiasm with younger campers and create new friendships or rekindle old ones. LITs are invited to bring along one sibling, or a friend of similar age, to share in the camp experience. (Note: If a sibling is not 16 or 17, he or she can participate in the resident camp.) Airline transportation may be available for LITs traveling from outside the area. Please call to request airline transportation.

Family Weekend
Saturday, September 6th through Sunday, September 7th
A weekend to relax as a family with all your activities planned for you. This is going to be the chance for our campers to give their families a taste of camp life with them.
