Camp Korey is more than a camp. It’s a place where kids with life-altering medical conditions can just be kids, entirely free of charge. We believe that all children should be able to experience both the joys of childhood and the profound, life-changing impact of camp. Every year, thousands of campers and family members gather in a community of people with shared experiences to sing, dance, laugh, grow, and discover their potential in a medically safe and adaptable environment. Here, campers with 90+ diagnoses can take a true break from being “patients” and rediscover the joy of being a kid. Don’t want to run or roll with us but still want to support, we have a variety of fundraising side trails you can join in on! You live out of town but still want to participate – register as a virtual runner, track and share your run, and you will get a finishers medal to celebrate YOU!
