The American Cancer Society’s Camp UKANDU is a week-long "outrageously fun" overnight camp for children living with cancer, including patients and siblings.
Campers tackle arts and crafts, weaving, boating, fishing, swimming, field games, beach play, and archery – all under the care of specially-trained adult staff and 24-hour medical specialists.
There is even a Thursday night dance, a talent show, a carnival, sleeping in teepees, and nightly campfire entertainment.
Where and When?
The American Cancer Society Camp UKANDU is held yearly at Camp Magruder, in Rockaway on the beautiful Oregon coast.
Camp traditionally lasts for a week each August.
