    Description

    Camp Catch-A-Rainbow - Free Pediatric Oncology Camp

    At YMCA Storer Camps, we believe every child deserves the chance to be a kid, no matter the challenges they may face. That’s why we’re proud to offer Camp Catch-A-Rainbow (CCAR)—a free, unforgettable experience for kids ages 4-17 who are being treated for or in remission from cancer.

    Here, kids can enjoy a variety of activities including:

    • Swimming
    • Archery
    • Horseback Riding
    • Arts & Crafts
    • Canoeing
    • …and so much more!

    Through the generosity of donors and grants, Camp Catch-A-Rainbow ensures that every child can participate at no cost.

    Volunteers

    Staffed by volunteers, Camp Catch-A-Rainbow offers campers 24 hour access to health care professionals to meet their cancer care needs. Camp Catch-A-Rainbow seeks volunteers to fill two primary roles:

    Medical Volunteers: Help meet the medical needs of all participants. Supervise the administration of medication to all participants and tend to first-aid needs. Must have a medical license in the state of Michigan and be up-to-date on CPR/BLS.

    General Volunteers: Assist in the implementation of camp programs. Duties may include serving as a cabin counselor, assignments with campers who need individualized attention and day-today logistics.

    Volunteers must be 21 years or older.
