About Camp Kids are Kids Chicago
Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago's inaugural 2014 camp was a huge success. With the commitment and hard work of our volunteers, board members, advisors, ambassadors and the overwhelming support of the community, we were able to provide a fun, safe and medically sound urban camping experience for 26 children living with cancer in the Chicago area. Because of the support and generous contributions of our many donors, we were able to achieve our goal to provide campers with an extraordinary camping experience with no financial cost to their families. We enjoyed watching the smiles, laughter and transformation of the personalities of the kids throughout the week, as they made new friends, built self-esteem, confidence and coping skills.
This year's Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago will take place August 9-13, 2015. The Ritz-Carlton Chicago will once again be the Camp host.
