Why Give?
One of the most “feel-good” parts of camp is our price tag. And you make that possible.
Every single one of our campers get to experience life-changing experiences for free. Which is fantastic, of course. But it also adds up to some very real reasons we need the financial support of lots of big-hearted people. (Like you, for instance!)
You can actually fund pure joy. That’s right. Because your donations make it possible for kids with serious illnesses to experience worry-free, giggle-infused, friendship rich time surrounded by incredible love and support and world-class medical care.
So on behalf of every camper who conquered their fear of heights or rode a horse for the first time or spent hours in our craft yurt or laid on the ground and counted stars with a new friend, we say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Donate here right this minute. We’ll send a virtual group hug your way >
"I never thought I would feel just like everyone else. It’s ok for me to be me here. No one cares that I have trouble doing some things because they might too."

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

"Roundup River Ranch is one of the best places in the world. It's a camp you don't have to be scared what health problems you have. It's really, really fun. Even though you might be far away from home, the counselors make Roundup River Ranch feel like home. You even get to make incredibly nice and cool friends, even if you're sometimes shy like me."
