Camp Journey at Rosspoint
Providing a community of hope for children and their families touched by cancer
About Us
Dealing with childhood cancer can sometimes make “just being a kid” seem out of reach—and out of scope for the whole family. At Camp Journey, our goal is to change that perception and that reality. In this nurturing, medically supervised home-away-from-home, young cancer survivors can leave their worries behind for one magical week and immerse themselves in a fun-filled outdoor camp experience tailored expressly to their needs. Meanwhile, their families and caregivers can rest easy, knowing that trained oncology staff is on-site 24/7.

I was a camper for 12 years and I am so lucky to return as a counselor. Camp Journey has forever changed my life and has shaped who I am today.
