Camp Boggy Creek is specifically designed for children with chronic or life threatening illnesses and allows them to safely enjoy the activities of a "traditional" camp. Between early morning swims and evening campfires, children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays are transformed into just "kids." They have a chance to be with others coping with the same illness or condition and realize that they are not alone.

The campers develop special relationships with each other and with their counselors. Most importantly, the prescription for the day is fun, fun, fun! Laughter, giggles, friendships, excitement, and bursting energy abound on the 232 acres of tall pines, majestic oaks, nature trails, and two great fishing holes. Campers are empowered to do things they never dreamed they could do. They are infused with a spirit of accomplishment at every turn and are allowed to forget that "they have what they have."

Boggy Creek programs include week long summer sessions as well as family weekends in the fall and spring. Summer programs allow the child a week of fun, adventure and independence in a setting that provides complete medical care. Family weekends bring a camper's whole family to camp where parents can relax and find needed support among other families dealing with similar emotional and financial challenges. Brothers and sisters get to participate in the same fun-filled activities as their Boggy Creek camper.

The Camp Boggy Creek experience is more than a fun-filled getaway. It helps children to better cope with the day-to-day challenges they face.
