Camp Rising Sun welcomes any child aged 5-17 who has faced a diagnosis of cancer and their siblings to a week of fun and friendship. Campers can be in treatment, in remission, or anywhere in between. . Camp is held in the beautiful hills of Colebrook, Connecticut at the facilities of Camp Jewell, a YMCA campground. Campers stay in heated cabins with other children in their age group along with a dedicated staff. Thanks to our generous supporters there is no cost to attend camp.
