For many children with cancer, life can feel very different from that of their peers. Time is often shaped by hospital visits, treatment schedules, and long days indoors. What they need most is something simple but powerful – a chance to feel like a child again.
Care Camps Foundation is on a mission to provide opportunities for children with cancer to experience joy, belonging, and the healing power of the outdoors at no cost to their families.
Through a network of pediatric oncology camps across the United States and Canada, children experience the joy of the outdoors, build friendships, and gain confidence. These medically supervised camps create safe spaces where kids can just be kids, while families find comfort and connection.
Each year, more than 47,000 children and family members attend over 120 Care Camps-supported programs.
Where the RV Industry Comes In
The RV and camping industry is rooted in the outdoors. It is built on the belief that time outside brings people together, creates lasting memories, and supports well-being. That same belief is at the heart of every pediatric oncology camp.
When RV dealers and partners come together to support Care Camps Foundation, they help extend the benefits of the outdoors to children who need it most.
Compete for Kids
In June, during National Camping Month, RV dealers across the country will come together for Compete for Kids—a nationwide fundraising campaign in partnership with the RV Dealers Association.
Dealerships can participate in ways that work best for them, from customer round-ups to events and matching gifts. Every effort helps send a child to camp.
This year, new tools—including ready-to-use resources and a live leaderboard—make it easier than ever to get involved.
