Get involved at Camp!

Become a Camp Boggy Creek medical volunteer!

As Florida’s only residential camp for children with serious illness, Camp Boggy Creek relies on the incredible support we receive from our medical volunteers…doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical professionals. It is our mission to foster a spirit of joy by creating a free, safe and medically-sound camp environment that enriches the lives of children with serious illnesses and their families. Our medical volunteers help to deliver the “medically-sound” part…they’re in on the fun, exciting and memorable parts too! For each of our summer sessions, our own full-time physician and nurse are supported by as many as six volunteer nurses and doctors…and that is in addition to the six nurses we hire for the summer! We also rely on volunteer doctors and nurses to help care for our campers during retreat weekends we host in the fall and spring.

This extensive medical support that gives the parents of seriously ill children the confidence to let those children come to Camp Boggy Creek. Your volunteer experience will do more than enrich the lives of our campers and their families; it will enrich you. After returning to their practices, treatment centers or hospitals, many of our medical volunteers have said that spending time with children in the camp setting has made them appreciate that they are children first and patients second. Please consider joining us and changing the lives of these brave kids.
