Camp Rainbow Gold is a one-week summer camp for children aged 6-16 who have had a cancer diagnosis. This experience aims to provide a sense of independence, adventure, self-assurance and success for each camper. Camp Rainbow Gold began in 1984, at which time it was one of the first children's oncology camps in the United States. Today the camp hosts an average of 75 campers a year. Various activities ensure there is something fun for everyone, including dancing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, rafting, and artwork and art therapy.
