COCA-I connects childhood cancer families with specialized camps around the world through their searchable directory and map. These aren't just regular summer camps - they're specifically designed for kids with cancer, survivors, and their families, with medical supervision and staff who truly understand what your child has been through.

The camps provide a safe space where your child can do normal kid activities like swimming, arts and crafts, and games while getting the medical support they need. More importantly, they connect with other kids who get it - who understand ports and chemo and all the things that make them feel different everywhere else. COCA-I also runs camps for siblings and whole families, because everyone needs that support and connection.

You can search their website to find member camps in your area or region. Many of their camps have earned Gold Ribbon accreditation, meaning they meet the highest standards for safety and quality in pediatric oncology camping.
