let's go camping!

time for a getaway

At Kidney Camp, children touched by kidney disease will get an escape from the ordinary. They will enjoy a good, old-fashioned camp experience, have fun, and find adventure. Each morning, your camper will find themselves presented with a wide range of outdoor summer diversions; including swimming and water sports, a high ropes course, archery, hiking, horseback riding, arts and crafts, mountain biking, and much more.

Kidney Camp is part of an integrated or inclusive summer camp experience. Not all children attending the camp have kidney issues. Activities and programming can be customized for your child's needs and they will be under the supervision of a medical professional there to care specifically for the kidney kids. Staff is on hand and available 24 hours a day.

Kidney Camp is offered completely free of charge, and is made possible with the generous support of our dedicated sponsors.
