Welcome to CAMP IN
A brand new camping experience where we bring camp to YOU. Camp Quality USA is excited to offer this program to our everyday superhero campers who have battled or are battling cancer.
In lieu of the physical camp experience this year, we are offering the CAMP IN program during the typical week of camp. The program will include a camp backpack that will be delivered to each camper prior to the week of camp. The backpack will be filled with 5 “Outrageous Courageous” daily activity cards and associated materials including art and nature exploration supplies and a journal. Additionally, our camp staff will provide online camp experiences during the week of camp with live streams and recorded sessions. A schedule of the online camp activities will be provided in the backpack. The virtual camp experience will also incorporate many of our local camp traditions as well.
“I’m delighted to be able to offer our campers and volunteers a way to stay connected and supported this summer, when they can’t gather at a campground. Our Camp In program is a way to reach even more than the thousand kids that typically attend our summer overnight camps, and we hope to share the Camp Quality experience with both new kids that may be too ill or too young to come to camp, along with our precious Camp Quality alumni. ”
PATTY HARRIS
CEO, Camp Quality USA
