WHAT IS A CARE CAMP?At these medically-supervised camps, children affected by cancer have the chance to experience summer camp with others their age who understand what they’re going through. They swim, hike, sing, laugh, make new friends and create joy-filled memories, all while receiving the medical treatment they need.
There are many different kinds of oncology camps; some are one week per year and some operate year-round. Some of them, like the Camp Quality camps, have one-to-one counselor/kid ratios and some house a group of kids in a cabin with a couple of counselors.
| WHAT DOES IT COST TO SEND A KID TO CAMP?The average cost to send a child to camp for one week is $1,800...and there is no charge to the child or their family to attend. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF DONATIONS MADE TO KOA CARE CAMPS ARE USED FOR ADMINISTRATION?“The stewardship over the funds contributed to and raised by the KOA Care Camps charity is something we take very seriously. We operate in a fiscally conservative manner to ensure that the money entrusted to our care will have the greatest financial impact on the camps we support.” Every year each of the oncology camps apply to KOA Care Camps for grant funding, going through a rigorous application process that ensures the camps are of good quality, adhere to Best Practices and go above and beyond to create the best possible experience for the kids.
