Camp No Worries

Our Camp is a Camp for Kids with Cancer

Upon first look at the campers who attend Camp No Worries, you would not think there is anything unique about them. However, Camp No Worries campers are all children dealing with a diagnosis of cancer in some way. They are patients, survivors, siblings, or bereaved siblings ranging in age six to sixteen. Camp No Worries strongly believes there is a therapeutic component of including brother and sisters in the camping experience. Therefore, we do not limit the number of siblings that attend, as long as they meet the minimal requirements.

Camp No Worries is a summer camp created solely to give children with cancer and their siblings an opportunity to relax, enjoy themselves and forget about their worries for one week every summer.
It’s a place that allows children facing a diagnosis of cancer to just be kids. It’s a place of happiness, friendship and new adventures. It’s a place of camaraderie and acceptance where everyone knows first–hand what it’s like to live with cancer. And, it’s a true summer camp experience in every sense of the word.

Camp No Worries strives to:

Provide a safe, well staffed environment where children can participate in average camp activities
Provide special medical expertise and close monitoring required for children with cancer not offered at an ordinary summer camp
Offer each child and opportunity to make friends with other children who share similar situations and experiences
Encourage each child to develop and self-sufficient, positive attitude and the self-esteem that is after looking after oneself
Give children in all stages of their disease an opportunity to meet and learn from others who are in treatment and/or who have
achieved remission
Make a camp experience financially feasible for a family who might not otherwise be able to afford it, and to provide respite for other family members while the child is at camp
Provide an away from home experience that is positive for the child(ren) and that parents can be assured is safe and will lessen separation anxiety
