Life-Changing Experience

To have that sense of safety and security, a loving place you can go for the ENTIRE summer. There is no place out there like that.

Sherice Johnson, Parent of Camper

For the first time, we are normal again. We’re not the only ones in our elementary school that have a sibling going through this. There were other people there. And they could just be kids!

Nour Kelly, Parent of 3 Campers

Aurora fills a niche for children and their families of children with cancer because we’ve never had a program that includes the needs of the sibling.

Dr. John Bergsagel, Medical Director

The fact that they don’t charge our family and that they keep my children so happy, so entertained and they are just so full of love. It’s been the biggest blessing to our family.

Jamie Brewer, Parent of 3 Campers
