Kids are meant to be kids. Living in the bliss and chaos of birthday parties, soccer games, arts and crafts projects, and picnics at the park. That playful energy comes to a screeching halt when a family hears the word cancer. Days become increasingly defined by shuffling between appointments—hospital to hospital, treatment to treatment.
But living with cancer is about more than just cancer, especially for kids— vibrant, loving, tenacious, incredible kids. It’s about living.
Camp One Step exists to put the joy back into childhood, to bring back the carefree nature of life with on-site medical professionals.
We also know that the effects of a pediatric cancer diagnosis don’t end when a child rings the bell. We are here to make sure there is a lifetime of continued emotional support, encouragement, and community.
Thanks to incredible generosity, everything we offer is at no cost to the family.
