Camp Type
Camp Wapiyapi is a residential camp established to provide children with cancer and their families a brief respite from their disease. Our free week-long summer camps offer a safe, nurturing environment in which children with cancer and their siblings may experience the natural freedoms of childhood. Through participation in a variety of group activities, and being matched with an adult volunteer for the entire week, campers will learn that they do not face their challenges alone. The camp is about having fun, meeting new friends, and the opportunity to be a child again.
Counselor Requirements Counselors must be at least 18 years of age with previous experience working with children, preferrably those with special medical needs. Our only other requirement is a positive attitude and dedication to making this the best week of the year for our campers!
