About Our Camp
We strive to foster a spirit of joy in a fun, safe and medically sound, urban recreational environment that builds self esteem, independence and friendships for children living with cancer.
Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago (CKAKC) is a nonprofit organization. We provide a camp for kids living with and beyond cancer and their siblings in a fun, safe and medically sound urban recreational environment and with no financial cost to campers families.
We are proud members of KOA Care Camps and Children’s Oncology Camping Association-International (COCA-I), an organization of 125 member camps, founded in 1982, which served the needs of 35,500 campers in 2014
COCA’s mission is to strengthen, support and connect the international community of camps serving individuals and families affected by childhood cancer.
Care Camps make a difference in the lives of children with cancer by supporting our camp and camps like ours through their generous grants.
