Camp Hope & Camp Sibsational

Camp Hope has been serving kids with cancer for over 40 years.  Any child ages 5-17 who have or have had cancer are eligible to attend.  Camp Hope also offers a Day Camp for children ages 4-17 for those that may be too young or not feel good enough to attend for the whole week.  This camp is held the third week of June at Camp Aldrich near Claflin, Kansas

We also know that cancer affects the entire family, so in 2019 we established Camp SIBsational, a camp for children ages 5-17 that is dedicated to meet the unique needs of the siblings of kids with cancer.  This camp is held in late July/early August at Camp Wood, Elmdale, Kansas.  Near Emporia, Kansas

KyMel Inc is the non-profit that sponsors both of these camps.  It was named after the children of our founder, Donna Brown, who lost their battle to cancer at a young age.  Kyle and Melani.  Both camps are week long camps and there is no charge to attend either camp!  

Our campers become more confident and optimistic.  They are able to interact with other children who have been through a similar situation, as a cancer survivor or a sibling of a cancer survivor

 

Testimonials

“As we expected camp has been WONDERFUL. The genuine smile on (my daughter’s) face in the pictures I took at drop off and the ones the counselors are sending me are testament to what an amazing thing you are doing. Thank you so very, very much! ”

“I can see what other kids have gone through and how they survived. It helps me get through & conquer. We are all survivors. That’s a gift.”

“When I'm at camp, I feel like a normal kid. Some kids don't get to go outside because our parents are just working too much and too hard. At home, I'm just watching movies all day. I don't want to get too old to come to Wildwood.”

Testimonal

“Without the support of Camps for Kids and the matching fund, CHD Families would be unable to provide a free medically supervised summer camp for kids with Congenital Heart Defects.”

“I look back on the struggle of my childhood and one of the most important and best childhood memories I have include the time spent at camp with the amazing men and women who treated me like I was normal despite my struggle”
