In 2006, a group of dedicated professionals and parents started Northwest Kidney Kids with the sole purpose of continuing Kidney Kids Family Camp - a fledgling summer program of 15-17 families coming together to support and sustain one another. After successfully forming Northwest Kidney Kids as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, its founders worked together each year to continue Family Camp traditions. Over the past 15 years since its inception, the dedicated staff, board of directors, and community members of Northwest Kidney Kids continue to serve children and families affected by chronic kidney disease. Our programs have grown to include 2 additional annual camps, clinical support initiatives, and countless resource projects such as mentoring and young ambassadors.
