Our camp 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.
Hugs are part of the daily dietary requirements at Boggy Creek.
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."
Camp activities include:
Swimming, boating, fishing, arts & crafts, horseback riding,
theater, archery, singing, dancing, animal hugging and so much more!
