Nonprofit Overview
Mission: The camp rainbow foundation ("camp rainbow") is dedicated to providing free camping experiences to children undergoing treatment for, and survivors of, cancer and other blood-related diseases and disorders. We provide a recreational and nurturing environment for campers and their families where the children can create positive memories, build self-esteem, make new friends and are relieved of the everyday stresses caused by their illness.
Programs: Teen camp rainbow is a weekend camping experience for teens with cancer or blood related disorders. Activities include bowling, nature hikes, games, movies, and challenge courses. The campers cook meals and take a leadership role in some of the activities.
