About
Mission:
To honor the courage, strength and determination of children and their families living with living with life-altering medical conditions by providing them with a transformational experience in a fun, safe year-round camp environment with specialized medical support in and out of the hospital setting. We believe in sparking wonder, igniting self-discovery, and embracing childhood independence.
Who we are: For the past 17 years, Camp Korey has worked to support children and families living with life-altering medical conditions through free, year-round, and intentional programming. Our programs aim to help families reclaim the joys and adventures of childhood and create communal experiences for those who may feel isolated by medical conditions. Our programs, Summer Camp, BLOCK Teen Leadership, Family Weekends, Camp to You Hospital Outreach, and Family Day Adventures are 100% free of charge for families.
Camp Korey was founded in 2005 in honor of Korey Rose, a teenager who lost his battle with bone cancer at age 18. Annually, Camp Korey provides camp programs for more than 1,800 children (ages 7-17) and family members living with one or more of 90+ life-altering illnesses and disabilities. We have served more than 37,000 children and families since our founding. Learn more here! https://youtu.be/7qTGj2zL5uQ
Camp Korey relies on the kindness of hundreds of volunteers every year to accomplish our mission of bringing joy to children with life-altering medical conditions. Each year, our community of program, medical, corporate, and at-home volunteers generously give thousands of hours to make the wishes of our campers a reality. When you volunteer with us, you become a part of the Camp Korey story: a caring, supportive, and compassionate community that comes together to enrich the lives of our campers!
