Creating A Camp Experience Built For Kids
Children impacted by cancer often miss out on traditional childhood experiences because of treatment schedules, hospital visits, and medical concerns. Camp Journey NW creates an environment where campers can safely participate in outdoor activities, build friendships, and experience the excitement of camp alongside others who understand what they are going through.
Throughout the week, campers participate in activities like swimming, climbing, arts and crafts, games, campfires, and group activities designed to encourage confidence, independence, and connection.
Medical staff remain onsite throughout camp to help support the physical needs of campers while allowing them to fully enjoy the camp experience.
More Than Just Summer Camp
For many campers, Camp Journey NW becomes one of the highlights of the year. Camp provides a chance to step away from appointments and routines and spend time focusing on friendship, adventure, and fun.
The relationships built during camp often continue long after the week ends, creating a strong sense of community between campers, families, volunteers, and staff.
Camp traditions, outdoor experiences, and shared memories help create an environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and included.
Community Support Makes Camp Possible
Camp Journey NW remains completely free for families thanks to the support of donors, volunteers, sponsors, and community events throughout the year.
That support helps provide:
Medical staffing
Meals and lodging
Camp activities and supplies
Outdoor recreation
Volunteer training
Resources for campers and families
Every contribution helps continue the mission of creating safe and meaningful camp experiences for children impacted by cancer.s
