Since 1981, Kids Cancer Alliance has offered a "normal" camping experience for children with cancer. It has recently expanded its services to also include the children with cancer's families, offering camps that include siblings, family retreats, quarterly events and in-hospital programs. Kids Cancer Alliance also offers free financial support to children with cancer and their families. Click here for more information.
