Camp Boggy Creek

"My first visit to Boggy Creek helped me so much because until then I had never been with kids with the same disease. This was the first time I had ever been away from home. Everyone was so wonderful and I had so much fun I didn’t want to leave." 

— Lynn, camper

Since 1996, Camp Boggy Creek has made it possible for children with serious illnesses and their families to experience a free, life-changing camp where safety, respect, love, and joy come together to enrich their physical and behavioral health. Located just a short drive from Orlando, Florida, the 232-acre Camp serves children ages 6-17 who’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness. As a year-round retreat, Camp Boggy Creek is able to serve thousands of campers and their families through activity-packed weekly and weekend camp programs.

Camp Boggy Creek aims to lead the way in combining traditional children’s programs with evidence-based interventions to support a camper’s overall emotional and mental health. Camp Boggy Creek will use its decades of experience in addressing medical trauma and its newly formed behavioral health team to support children with various mental health diagnoses like depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

Camp offers children the chance to catch their first fish, go horseback riding and create lifelong friendships with others facing similar challenges. Beyond boundless fun, Camp Boggy Creek provides fellowship. Children can spend time with others who are just like them and share their life-experiences, which serves as a reminder that they are not alone.
