Mission
The Mission of Camp Boggy Creek is to enrich the lives of children who have chronic or life threatening illnesses by creating camping experiences that are memorable, exciting, fun, empowering, physically safe and medically sound.
Camp Boggy Creek is a proud member of The Association of Hole In The Wall Camps. To learn more about them visit www.holeinthewallcamps.org
Who we Serve
Camp Boggy Creek is a permanent, year-round facility where children between the ages of 7-16 with chronic or life-threatening illnesses can come at no charge to them or their families. The cost of staffing and operating the camp is covered by contributions from individuals, healthcare partnerships, foundations and corporations.
Transportation to and from the camp is usually the family's responsibility, however, many local health organizations will help with the cost and coordination of travel plans, and other special arrangements can be made.
Camp Boggy Creek provides a safe and exciting camp experience for children with:
* Asthma
* Cancer and blood-related disorders
* Craniofacial disorders
* Diabetes
* Epilepsy
* Heart disease
* Hemophilia
* Immunology
* Inflammatory Bowel Disease
* Kidney disease
* Rheumatic disease
* Sickle cell anemia
* Spina Bifida
* Transplants
* Disorders requiring ventilator assistance
Boggy Creek gives campers a chance to normalize their lives by being with children battling the same illness. "Everyone is just the same as me!"
It also offers critical support to the parents, guardians and siblings of these amazing campers.
