This 3-day summer-camp-style weekend is full of fun and joy for kids diagnosed with cancer and their families. From dance parties to arts and crafts, pony rides, and relaxing massages for parents, Jacob’s Heart families have a blast sharing in activities while building supportive relationships with others who understand the challenges of a pediatric cancer diagnosis. It is also an opportunity for families to establish trusting relationships and positive memories with nurses from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, who volunteer their time to be family camp counselors. This is a healing experience for both nurses and families.
Thank you for helping us create a carefree weekend of fun, hope and healing...where kids are encouraged to simply be kids.
