Support organization

Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago

Your child and their siblings can attend a free urban camp at Hilton hotels in Chicago for children ages 7–17 during cancer treatment or remission. The camper page gives September 4–7 but mixes that schedule with application instructions from 2024. Call 312-912-5308 to ask about the next camp before starting CampDoc, rather than relying on the old deadline.
