Big Sky Kids at Eagle Mount creates incredible camp experiences for children facing serious illnesses, including cancer. They run therapeutic recreation programs that adapt outdoor activities so every child can participate, regardless of their physical limitations or medical needs.
Your child gets to experience horseback riding, skiing, rock climbing, and other adventures in a safe, medically-aware environment with trained staff who understand what kids going through treatment need. The programs aren't just about fun (though there's plenty of that) - they focus on building confidence, independence, and joy during such a challenging time.
They offer day camps, overnight camps, and family programs throughout the year in beautiful Montana. The staff includes medical professionals and specially trained volunteers who know how to work with children who have feeding tubes, mobility issues, or are immunocompromised.
Many families say these camps give their children a chance to just be kids again, away from hospitals and treatments. They also offer sibling programs because they understand the whole family is affected by childhood illness.
The camps are free for families dealing with serious childhood illnesses, removing one more barrier so your child can have these amazing experiences.
