A virtual summer camp program for children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis!
The 2020 sessions will be virtual from June 4 to August 23, 2020 for campers (grades 3-11), Leaders in Training (grade 12), and volunteers (age 19+).
Virtual registration is LIVE! We are accepting NEW applications! Campers must be entering grades 2 - 12 and have an IBD diagnosis in order to be eligible for virtual camp.
The virtual camp season will run June 14 - August 23. It will be offered free of charge to eligible campers. We will feature both national and local activities, with examples highlighted below.
We will be providing camp experiences through a variety of platforms, and will heavily leverage our new Camp Oasis Instagram page. Follow us @camp_oasis_ibd.
Our summer camp series will include:
A packet of Camp Oasis swag and materials, sent directly to your camper via U.S. Mail in early June - this packet will include a "Parent & Camper Guide" which will outline camp activities and steps to ensure a safe and fun experience for campers
Group activities which will be facilitated online on a variety of platforms - all hosted by Foundation staff and trained, experienced Camp Oasis volunteers
Interactive social sessions via our new Camp Oasis Instagram page
A custom program for those eligible for our Leaders in Training (LIT) program
A pen pal program for those interested in connecting with campers across the country
Local activities we will be planning especially for each camp location
