My Story

This will be my 11th summer with Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Oochgeas). Camp is a special place where kids with cancer can just be kids.  

The magic of camp brings much-needed joy to kids and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illness. Through its in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, Campfire Circle creates opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall wellbeing

Camp has given me a career path, a support system, and endless special moments that have a permanent place in my heart. My cup has been filled by the bravest kids, the most loving parents, and the kindest humans I’ve ever met. 

New this year, Camp is expanding its impact to support kids with other chronic illness, such as intestinal failure and end stage renal disease. It’s beginning to address an inequity in psychosocial resources, to support more kids that are close to my heart. 

Please give what you can.
