The Cause:

The magic of Camp Fantastic isn’t easily described.  It’s a fun-filled week of swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, marshmallow roasting, campfire singing, pillow fighting – everything a child without cancer enjoys at a traditional camp.  For a child with cancer, the experience is, well, liberating.  The adventure these special children discover at camp is therapeutic in so many ways.  By the end of the week of Camp Fantastic, the once-timid troupe of pediatric cancer patients has built a bond as strong as any these kids will ever experience.
