A FREE And Safe Camp
For Children With Serious Medical Illnesses
Founded in 1996 by actor Paul Newman and General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Camp Boggy Creek was built on a simple yet powerful idea: every child, no matter their illness, deserves to experience the magic of camp. We provide a life-changing experience where children with serious medical conditions can find a deep sense of belonging and empowerment.
Our 232-acre, state-of-the-art facility in Eustis, Florida, is where this transformation happens. Once children pass through our gates, the daily limitations they live with disappear. Here, they can simply focus on having fun and making friendships, all while receiving top-tier medical care. And thanks to our generous supporters, this entire experience is provided free of cost to every camper and their family.
For 30 years, we’ve provided joy and belonging to 95,000 campers and families. While we celebrate our past, we’re focused on the future. For every child newly diagnosed, Camp Boggy Creek will be here—providing a life-changing place where they truly belong.
