Brainy Camps is an inclusive community dedicated to enriching the lives of youth living with chronic illnesses. We encourage self-management and independence through guided care and peer support.
Our motto is "Have Fun, Be Wise, Live Well."
What We Offer:
-
A Supportive Community
A network of partnerships with children, families, volunteers, medical staff, board members, community supporters and non-profit healthcare organizations.
-
Safety
We offer a 2:1 camper-to-staff ratio as well as a highly qualified, round-the-clock medical team.
-
Education
Campers join in discussion groups to learn about emotional and physical well-being and medical self-management from therapists, medical experts and peers.
-
Empowerment
Children leave camp ready to face life’s obstacles with new skills, a sense of confidence and a base of emotional support.
-
Quality of Care
We work with experts in the field to integrate new approaches of care and evaluation in order to improve the services we provide and advance our mission.
-
Self-Advocacy
When campers and medical staff work together, children learn to be more assertive, become stronger self-advocates and serve as role models for other children and peers.
-
Accountability
All funds raised for Brainy Camps go directly toward covering operations, awarding camper scholarships and supporting future growth.
