Camp Hope is the first-ever pediatric pancreatitis summer camp for kids and teens, created by Rebecca’s Wish and The National Pancreas Foundation. I’m fundraising for Camp Hope because every child deserves the chance to simply be a kid—especially those of us living with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic disease. For many of us, daily life includes pain, hospital visits, medications, and often feeling different or isolated from our friends.  It can cost up to $2750 per camper, which Rebecca's Wish has fully funded through grants and donations the last 5 years.  My goal is to raise a portion, $1000, for camp this year. 

For me, Camp Hope offers something truly special: a safe, medically supported summer camp where I can laugh, play, build friendships, and gain confidence—often for the first time surrounded by others who truly understand what living with pancreatitis is like. It’s a place where I can feel safe, seen, supported, and empowered—not defined by pancreatitis and post TPIAT.

I attended Camp Hope for the first time in 2025 and had the absolute best time of my life.  I've been looking forwared to 2026's Camp Hope since the day I left camp last year!!  I am VERY excited to spend a week there this June and hope that you can help support my fundraising effort!!  Your support will help myself and other kids with pediatric pancreatitis/pancreas disease can have a camp to go to and feel safe, and be around others who deal with the same medical stuff!

Your support helps cover medical staff, specialized care, activities, meals, and the overall camp experience, allowing families to focus on joy instead of cost. Thank you for supporting Camp Hope and for helping create unforgettable memories for me and other kids like me who need it most
