Registration is now open for the 2015 season of CCFA’s Camp Oasis!
Camp Oasis is a summer camp program for children with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It offers a really wonderful opportunity for kids with IBD to feel more empowered about their disease by connecting them with other patients their age in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. It’s a life-changing experience for many campers, as well as the volunteers who help run it.
Please learn more by visiting the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America’s website here: Get Involved – Camp Oasis.
Here is a 2011 news report on one of the Camp Oasis locations:
