About Happiness Is Camping

At Helping Is Caring (HIC) Camp, we strive to give children with cancer and sickle cell disease a chance to just be kids for a week. Through providing them with a traditional camp experience, we hope to give them the opportunity to relax, have fun, and just be kids. Each summer we host four weeklong sessions for up to 350 children from over 15 different area hospitals. Our camp activities include activities like high ropes climbing, archery, swimming, sports, crafts, and even a “Cabin Wars” competition. Our medical team of specially-trained physicians and nurses is also on-site to provide 24-hour medical supervision and to participate in all camp activities. Our fully-equipped health center allows us to welcome even the sickest children, including those on active treatments, at serious risk of bleeding and pain crises, and with significant physical disabilities. At HIC Camp, our goal is to let children with cancer and sickle cell disease just be kids. We strive to provide a safe and fun environment for children to just be themselves and experience the joys of childhood. We believe that every child deserves the chance to just be a kid!
