It’s all about outcomes - the impact of camp on youth.
Every summer thousands of our community’s youth attend camp. Whether the focus is on sports, theater, technology, or specifically for children impacted by cancer—the benefits of camp on youth development are undeniable. According to the National Collaboration for Youth, the 5,000 children who participate in an American Camp Association camp experience demonstrate more confidence; increased self-esteem; more social skills that help in making new friends; more independence and leadership qualities; and become more adventurous and willing to try new things.
Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times is a recreational camp for children with cancer and their families that provides youth with a carefree and fun experience that allows them to reclaim their childhood. But more than that, Camp focuses on youth development outcomes so that the young people who attend our camp year after year graduate healthier, well-rounded, self-confident, and happy young adults.
