About Kids Camp:
The goal of Kids’ Camp is to provide children with chronic kidney disease the opportunity to enjoy an exciting summer camp adventure complete with the great outdoors, campfires, sing-a-longs, water activities and new friends! Each year more children participate in the Kids’ Camp experience. We invite your child to join us this summer for an unforgettable adventure.
Kids will enjoy the wonderful outdoors while riding horses, singing songs, boating, high ropes, hiking woodland trails, playing games, swimming, riding the zipline, creating arts and crafts, sitting around the campfire and much, much more!
