The mission

What this organization describes

Building personal growth and a positive community for the campers we proudly serve

The Center for Courageous Kids mission is instilling inspiration and empowerment while enhancing the lives of children with serious illnesses. We have nine separate week-long summer camps where we can serve up to 128 children per week. We also have Family Retreats during the year with each weekend retreat serving up to 32 families and each day retreat serving up to 60 families. The Family Retreats allow the child and their family to attend camp together. Each week of summer camp and family retreat is designated for a specific illness or disability. We never charge any child or family who attends camp.
