An Amazing Place For Some Amazing Kids.
A magical place where children with serious illnesses can just be kids.
Camp Boggy Creek is specifically designed for children with serious illnesses and allows them to safely enjoy the activities of a “traditional” camp. Between early morning swims and evening campfires, children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays are transformed into just “kids.” They have a chance to be with others coping with the same illness or condition and realize that they are not alone.
Camp Boggy Creek is a permanent, year-round facility where children ages 7 through 17 with chronic or life-threatening illnesses and their families can come to Camp at no charge to them.

Camp Boggy Creek provides a safe and exciting camp experience for children from throughout Florida who are diagnosed with the following serious illnesses:

All programs at Camp Boggy Creek include full medical coverage with on-site professionals in the illness specialty being served.
The Camp Boggy Creek experience is more than a fun-filled getaway. It helps children and their families to better cope with the day-to-day challenges they face in dealing with serious illness.
Because there is no charge to come to any of the programs at Camp Boggy Creek, the cost of staffing and operating the Camp is covered by contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations and healthcare partnerships. We also rely on over 1,800 volunteers each year to fulfill our mission to serve these brave children and their families.
Transportation to and from Camp is the family or guardian’s responsibility.
