What Cancer Takes Away, Camp Happy Days Gives Back
Until there's a
cure...there's
Camp Happy Days!
Our programs are designed to encourage kids as they navigate their journey with cancer. We provide environments that foster positive social and emotional interactions, reassuring our kids and families that they are loved and supported.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT CHD
"Just typing this up is bringing tears to my eyes. A huge thank you to each and every one of the staff and volunteers who made our kids' first (family) camp experience so amazing. We didn't really know what to expect and everyone's kindness, the new experiences gained from ALL the programming (that slip and slide though!!!), and the food (we're still stuffed!) led to memories that will last a lifetime for our family."

“Camp Happy Days provides that shining light of support to keep [the kids] fighting. These are children who have to miss so much of normal childhood, and the week of camp provides them a chance to simply be a child again. The simple joys of things like fishing, camp games and fun pranks on counselors in the dining hall are enough to keep them fighting for the battle they have to face.

"Just a quick note of thanks to Camp Happy Days and the entire staff for being a source of support for
my son. He absolutely LOVED his Christmas presents!!!! I haven’t seen him smile like this in over a year since his diagnosis. Please know how grateful and humbled we are for what you all do for families
such as ours."

"I continue to volunteer with CHD because I really believe in the work they do to serve kids with cancer and their families. I know that no one fights childhood cancer alone and I love the way that CHD supports these families both through Camp and throughout the year - these kids and this cause have my heart!"
