ABOUT Camp HIS KIDS

Treatment Camp: For children ages 8-14 who are under-going cancer treatment or in remission. Children with cancer find a place outside the hospital where they can feel like a “normal” kid again, where being bald is not unusual and other campers can relate to what they are going through, all while getting their daily medications from registered nurses who work in hematology/oncology in the St. Louis area.

Sibling Camp: For children ages 8-14 who are siblings of childhood cancer patients or have lost a sibling to cancer. Siblings of children with cancer find a place where they are just as special as their brother or sister on treatment, and they find friends that understand their complicated feelings. They get a week to have fun and be free of the typical stress in the home of a seriously ill child!

LIT Camp: For teens (ages 15-17) with cancer or in remission and teen siblings of children with cancer. In LIT (Leaders in Training) camp, teens find a place to learn what it means to be a counselor for children on treatment and their siblings and a leader in their school or community. They also get a week to participate in fun activities, share their own feelings and make friends that last a lifetime!
