ABOUT CAMP FANTASTIC: Camp Fantastic (for patients/survivors) Our hallmark program is a week-long adventure for 7-17 patients and survivors who are within 5 years of treatment (or within 7 years of a bone marrow transplant). Medical care is provided on-site so campers can focus on fun – a ropes course, canoeing, swimming, cooking, sports, and more! Teens have exclusive lodging and programming and 16 and 17-year-olds can participate in our LIT (leaders in training) group. While the details for camp and our precautionary COVID measures are still evolving, we’re proceeding under the belief that camp in some form will definitely happen. All cancer patients ages 7-17 within 5 years of treatment (or within 7 years of a bone marrow transplant) are eligible. Learn more about Special Love.
Purchase your meal directly from the food trucks. A percentage of all food sales and proceeds from t-shirt sales will go to help support the Special Love/Camp Fantastic program. Be a part of the event, bring your coworkers and make a difference in a child’s life!
