Primarily serves campers with: Cancer
Overview
Camp Rainbow Gold serves Idaho children diagnosed with cancer and their families. For our families and campers, Camp Rainbow Gold is more than a week; it’s a lifestyle. The camp experience builds self-esteem, confidence, hope, and love. A full crew of experienced volunteers, medical staff and a licensed social worker support and care for the medical and emotional needs of every camper.
Campers will meet other campers undergoing similar experiences who can share a bond only found through Camp Rainbow Gold. Most children return year after year, building on old friendships, adding new ones, and eagerly welcoming first-time campers into the Camp Rainbow Gold family.
We offer three overnight camp experiences for kids: youth oncology camp (ages 6-12), teen oncology camp (ages 13-17), and sibling camp (ages 6-17).
