This Web site is dedicated to Camp Challenge, a camp for children with cancer and other blood disorders.

Camp Challenge is a grass roots non-profit organization dedicated to giving ill children and their siblings ages 5 through 14 a summer camp experience. Camp is open to all children who reside in Louisiana and have a form of cancer or other chronic hematological disorders. These children do not have to pay for camp. It is free for all campers.

Camp Challenge is funded by donations from individuals and companies. We also receive money from various organizations that put on fundraisers for the sole purpose of funding camp.

The Camp Challenge Camp program is proud to have earned the American Camp Association accreditation.  ACA accredits over 2,400 camps. ACA-accredited camps comply with up to 300 standards for health, safety, and program quality. As an accredited camp, we are able to assure parents, supporters and others that we are dedicated to the children we serve.

If you are interested in attending a board meeting, please give us a call. We would love to have you. We are always looking for more people to become involved. Parents of campers are welcome! Involvement of parents helps our organization grow. We can really use your help.
