What he started, we sustain.

Joey Cavazos found Camp Discovery in 1984 as a college forestry student working at Camp Flaming Arrow. He met the kids there. Children facing cancer. His life pivoted.

For the next 37 years, Joey built. He led Camp Discovery through its independence from the American Cancer Society in 2013. He launched programs that became Camp Brave Hearts, Camp Ohana, Camp Firefly, and more. He brought hundreds of volunteers into a community he treated like family.

Before he passed in May 2021, Joey asked his wife Jennifer to carry the work forward.

She has.

Camp serves more families now than it did when Joey was here. The hospitals send more kids. The need has grown.

The funding hasn't kept up.

Grants that supported camp for years have narrowed or closed. Donations are below where they need to be. The team here is small and the work is large, and none of it pauses for funding cycles — kids are diagnosed every week, and families turn to camp every week.

The work hasn't slowed. Which is why we need more people sustaining it now than we ever have.

Give Monthly. Join Camp Champs.

Monthly giving is what makes camp sustainable. Every month, every Camp Champ, every gift — that's how we're able to keep showing up for the next kid, the next family, the next diagnosis. Camp Champs are the foundation everything else is built on.

Or make a one-time gift in Joey's memory.

Some supporters give a single, meaningful gift that helps close a critical funding gap. Both keep camp running. Both honor what Joey built.

Whatever you choose, choose what works for you. You can change it anytime.
