Camp Hope

 
 

Rebecca's Wish and The National Pancreas Foundation created a one-of-a-kind pediatric pancreatitis summer camp in 2021 called Camp Hope, so children and young people suffering from pancreatitis, or post-TPIAT, can experience all the joys of camp without limitations. Camp Hope is also a place where they can bond and build friendships in a fun and safe setting that includes swimming, archery, horseback riding, crafts, zip-lining, basketball, tennis, photography and more.

At Camp Hope, campers get to experience things they have never been able to do while having fun, finding respite and experiencing a new sense of belonging, all while staying safe under the guidance and care of an onsite medical and psychosocial team.  For most of the children participating, this is their first time attending camp and being away from home due to their pancreatitis.

Our 3rd in-person session of Camp Hope is taking place on June 10-14, 2024 at Morgan's Wonderland Camp in San Antonio, Texas. This FREE experience is limited to children 8 – 18 years old. Travel stipends are available for those who need financial assistance.

Volunteer opportunities are available. Volunteers must be at least 19-years-old and available to check-in on June 9th for mandatory training. So that our campers can be 100% themselves at Camp Hope, and to help them gain new confidence and independence, caregivers are not permitted to volunteer. The only exception we are making is for caregivers who join Camp Hope as a medical volunteer (physician, RN, therapist).
