Camp Boggy Creek

Our Mission

To foster a spirit of joy be creating a free, safe and medically sound camp environment that enriches the lives of children with serious illnesses and their families. Having a child with a serious illness presents challenges for families that most can never imagine. Chronic and life-threatening illnesses have a way of sneaking up and stealing the gifts we take for granted. Sometimes it is an immediate loss, while other times it is slow, with pieces gradually being taken away. At Camp Boggy Creek those pieces are carefully put back together to help the child and his or her family to become whole again and celebrate the gift of life. Camp Boggy Creek gives back all that chronic illness has managed to take away and more! Campers run, play, fish, swim and explore. They sing and dance and live life to the fullest possible extent! They gain the confidence to explore with the knowledge that help is nearby if ever needed. They find that time, for once, is on their side. They make friends, friends who understand, friends who know what it is like when life stops for a medical crisis, friends who are adults and want nothing but to play.
