Camp offers a chance for children to meet and get to know their peers in a safe, healthy recreational setting. Opportunities range from typical camp activities such as crafts and nature study to videotape photography, swimming, sports, horseback riding and much more.

Camp also provides an opportunity for siblings to share the camping experience with their brother or sister with cancer. In addition to camp activities, siblings participate in a special program which focuses on living with a brother or sister who has cancer.

Camp staff is comprised of specially-trained young adult salaried counselors supplemented by medical staff. A pediatric oncologist and nurse are on hand at all times. These people are highly-qualified and are committed to helping your child have a good time. They are also sensitive to the special needs your child's illness may demand. There are laboratory and emergency medical facilities nearby should the need arise.

The oncology session has been endorsed by Pediatric Oncologists of the State of Minnesota. Camp Courage oncology sessions are open to children and teenagers who have or have had leukemia, brain tumors, and other forms of cancer.
