Blue Skies gives childhood cancer families free camps and getaways to the beach or mountains where you can rest and just be a family again. They host 10 to 15 camps per year at beautiful locations like Port St. Joe Florida, San Diego California, St. Simons Island Georgia, Orange Beach Alabama, Dollywood Tennessee, and Ballena Valley California.

Each camp has 10 to 12 guest families.There is no cost to attend except your transportation to and from camp and a few of your meals. Everything else is covered.

You stay at resorts or vacation houses, enjoy activities together, and connect with other families who truly understand what you're going through. A nurse attends every camp to help ease any fears about being away from home.Each morning starts with Good Morning Blue Skies with donuts, coffee, worship, and a camp devotional.

Parents can join Kindred Journeys, a safe space to share your journey with other moms and dads who get it. While you're in parent group, kids are with volunteers at the pool having fun.

Then your family is free to spend the day however you want at the beach, pool, or attractions. Evening activities bring everyone together for entertainment and special outings.Blue Skies is a Christian ministry that shares the hope of Jesus.

All families are welcome to apply regardless of faith background. Your child's oncologist must complete a Medical Clearance Form and Family Referral Form.

Applications open February 2nd each year.
