Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times creates a positive long-lasting impact on children with cancer and their families by providing fun-filled, medically supervised, cost-free, year-round camp programs. We are proud to share information about our impact in 2014!
In 2014, Camp welcomed 1,433 campers (1,075 youth and 361 parents) to the serenity of our 60 acre facility in the San Jacinto Mountains. Due to the devastating financial effects of cancer, our programs are offered FREE of charge. Our program relies on over 400 volunteer staff of doctors, nurses, and specially trained counselors, who provide a medically safe and psychologically supportive environment for all of our campers. Last year, volunteers served in 857 different roles at Camp, providing 42,567 hours of service to our mission.
Some memorable quotes from our campers:
