Hope and healing happen here

A unique summer camp experience

Pediatric cancer changes a family forever. Everyone in the family faces the many struggles and challenges that come with a diagnosis. Between the appointments, treatments, and constant change, it’s tough for kids to simply feel like kids.

But there's a special place that makes a difference. At Camp Wapiyapi, both patients and siblings find laughter, friendship, and lasting memories through an equal and dynamic summer camp experience — at no cost to families.
