About this camp

This is a free camp program for families with a child under the age of 13 who has been diagnosed with cancer.

At Camp Māk-A-Dream, we practice “Challenge by Choice”. We offer safe, inclusive, and fun activities in which campers may choose what level they would like to participate. Our trained staff give clear instructions, encouragement, and guidance to campers so they can be empowered to make the decision for themselves.
